Content requests
I see the Suggested projects template and category as being mainly for quite specific things such as research questions or the "Specific Design Requests" - e.g. a new drying mechanism for rice, a Machine for removal of grain from a seed stalk, an improved Universal Nut Sheller.W
General topics, writing up existing info, (e.g. Sickle, Drilling tools, Treadle pump) seem to me like a different issue, to be put on another page (currently the neglected Appropedia talk:Request, which I'll link from here).
Now, I haven't quite been doing this - I've been using the {{sp}} tag to request not only research and design work, but also basic info hunting work. We probably want a different tag for that, e.g. {{rc}}, to add pages to a new cat, Category:Requested content.
How does that sound? --Chriswaterguy 01:42, 17 April 2008 (PDT)
