Ok, so I said I'd write up some ideas & points for discussion on Friday. Anything people have to add before then can only be good.
This is pretty much turning into a requirements-engineering session, but I'll try to keep this to-the-point.
Ok, so, the features of this site that I'd like to see are:
1. Forum (done)
2. Reference Content e.g. recipes, styles, techniques; editing and revision control
2.1. connection between (2) and (1) in some non-awkward fashion. Potentially extend BBCode (and associated editor buttons) for linking to wiki topics, basically URL tag modified to be a WIKI tag.
3. video + audio + photo; storage + playback; probably with some external hosting provider due to bandwidth constraints (youtube/flickr/etc)
4. recipe and process calculators; with an archived store of each user's recipes.
bah, I'm drawing a blank atm but I know I had more to add to this.
If you had a wish-list, what would it be?
