Packard neo-Engineering website

[WCraigH]

Eric and I were discussing a topic on his MSN Chat Room last night when it occured to me that there is no proper web expository for the many good ideas put forth on this DF, his Chat Room and offline between individuals.

For instance, on my website, I have sections titled Project Topics and Special Projects but these pages are about info and solutions for my particular car project.

On this AACA Discussion Forum, there are many threads about real and proposed engineering and mechanical solutions for 55th and 56th series Packards. <span style="font-weight: bold">Olds/Packard Hybrid Oil Pump</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold">Alternate Control Switches</span> being the most recent. The <span style="font-weight: bold">55-56 Xref</span> is packed with useful info, but like all the other threads, it's presentation is incoherent because it's in time-of-post order and the info is obfuscated by intersticed off-topic Q&A and ramblings.

On Eric's MSN Chat Room, interesting and useful info often appears, but in addition to the deficiences of the DF threads just noted, the info is ephemeral because it disappears when one logs off.

I think what <span style="font-style: italic">WE</span> need is a more permanent and coherent expository. Therefore, I volunteer my website. I can put a prominent link on its home page to an entirely new section for this purpose. The layout, contents and input from contributors are [color:"red"] TBD . That is the purpose of this thread. Also, it may be a good idea to culminate the initial design with an interactive session on Eric's MSN Chat Room in about a week, tentatively Sept 7.

What do you think? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
