I'd even be keen to keep that site separate from the ETwiki, which would the store of our "collective wisdom", ie a easy reference to our earlier discussions, ie a way to go through all our "unfinished" discussions.
I don't wnat to change the site so much as build on what exists, and put it in a form which is more accessible/palatable/understandable/interesting to outsiders who don't have the benefit of spending day in and day out over here. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

I think that is what the distinction between the front page and dairy sections should be about. The Diary section is for everyone to publish their thoughts - amateur or otherwise. The front page should be for the more seriously researched and perhaps peer reviewed papers that are our platform for greater influence in the outside world.
So following that, much of Einstein's major work wouldn't have been worthy of the front page. but his later, less important work would ave? Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Then to the outside world we wouldn't look like a community blog at all any longer. When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
I'm afraid it would only create detached policy that would be more of the same. At least to me, the personal is political and viceversa, because it is intertwined. Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. -Charu Saxena.
