When the articles come to be, will there be a way to link each article with its own discussion thread? I'm not referring to a string of compliments to the author, but using the article as a starting point for discussion and additional information/experience. When someone reads the article in the future they'll be able to read, and add to, the followup that already transpired.
Use the articles as a starting point, not the destination
Properly interlinking sections of the web site, to facilitate each other, could really add to its utility and use.

A really good thought. We may have to ask John if that can be done.
Interesting, very interesting.
Another thing on the growth potential list for this forum.

Not only is that possible, it's being done on some forums. For instance, a product review shows up as an article, then a link to the ensuing discussion is created.
It's a beautiful thing :-)

Ken,
Great idea! That is one that can easily be done. All we need to do is assign a specific thread after posting the article on the website. At the end of the article we just add a link to that thread. I can even handle that one. :S
