Pedram asked me for feedback on the site in a private message but I think a better place to put feedback is out in the open, so (hopefully) others can toss in their .02

(1) For those who work in the security field, I'm certain some have reasons/policy for not disclosing certain information to the general public. On the other hand, allowing read access to the Brainstorming-II and Brainstorming-Members forums may have benefits, such as allowing novice users watch how difficult problems are addressed/solved through collaboration. Heck, I can't count the times where I've read some doc or discussion and heard that infamous *wooshing* noise as the whole thing went over my head. After I read through it enough times and looked up definitions for all the terms I didn't understand, I've usually managed to learn something important from it. Anyhow, read access is just a thought. I'm sure you guys already thought through your decision, but I'm curious to know your reasoning.

(2) Would it be worthwhile for the "Reference Library" to hold information on file formats?

(3) What (if any) hardware reference material would be considered useful? (i.e. instruction sets, ...)

(4) Would having a .plan file for the site listing the features that are in development be worth the effort to prevent people (me) from suggesting things that are already in the pipeline?
