An Open Method

Written by Ryan Hunt on 10 October 2012.

We now have comment ability on our blog. One thing the Andrea Rossi impresses me with is that he gets a good deal of advice and engineering suggestions through readers of his blog. That effect has inspired me greatly. In fact, there is at least one person out there that we owe a thank you to for suggesting a Swagelok pressure relief valve n the comments below an article in E-catworld.com. We have already ordered that component and will install it as soon as it arrives.

Crowd-sourcing engineering and crowd-sourcing financing are amazing new ways to give worthwhile ideas real wings. It gives new meaning to idea of democracy.

Please, if you have suggestions, post a comment or two.

First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you
don't mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my
thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
ideas or tips? Thank you!

Feel free to surf to my blog post; more: 2Captcha.com/

Keep in mind that is an RSS for comments only.
Blog post notifications are on a separate RSS link:

quantumheat.org/.../...

After some searching, I found out the RSS link for all comments posted here (with the JComments comment widget). You can put this somewhere in this blog:

www.quantumheat.org/.../full

Alternate link:

Jim, I can't get into the lenrconnect site. I like your suggestions though.
I can't find the RSS feed settings for the comments, yet. I will have to research it this weekend.
We can try to get the higher res images going soon, too.

Suggestion (made elsewhere):
> Create a process outline for the entire system
> Create separate pages and discussions for each major element of the outline
> Summarize the discussions on the pages
> Helps focus attention, ideas, etc.

Here is a starting suggestion for the outline

Thank you both for the suggestions. We are in the process of revising a few pages based on your suggestions and will roll them out shortly.

I agree with Ecco. The blog is the very heart of this site, it should be featured more promenently.

Not engineering suggestions, but for a start, I would suggest to also add for each post in the progress blog:

- Posting date
- For each photo added, a link to a bigger version.
- If possible, a single RSS feed for new comments in ALL posts (so that one doesn't necessarily have to add a new RSS feed for each new post or comment to receive follow-up comment notifications. It can otherwise get messy and bandwidth-wasteful)

Also, try making the progress blog and the discussion forum more visible / accessible from the main page. The Progress blog especially shows clearly where donated money is being put and that your organization is actually doing something.
