Hi David

I think you're right that something like a "Lab" section could go down 
well. I am just not sure if it is main site or Forum at this point.

Do you have any clear ideas about what would work for you (and others)?

A couple of things to bear in mind:

 - Main site has a higher bar to entry: The posts have to look 
professional, and that means we need to put additional work into the text 
and provide some visuals (e.g. pictures, sketches or videos). There is a 
comments possibility for each story, but it's a bit limited. I'm prepared 
to put in editorial work, so you could just deliver photos and a sketch of 
what you want to say and I'd take care of the rest.

 - The forum seems like a good fit, but I don't want it to dilute the 
discussions on this group: that would be counter productive and is not my 
aim at all. I'm more interested in giving the community something 
additional that it does not have at the moment

 - http://www.tubeclockdb.com still has a fair ranking on Google, (but it 
has dropped a lot through stagnation) and is still the higest ranked 
"non-aligned" (i.e. not owned by someone just selling their own products) 
site. I'm working to recover the rankings, but that's a long road. 

What are your thoughts? Perhaps we take it off line so we don't bore people 
here...

Ian
