Hi both, and welcome - we're a very broad church here, so no worry about risking becoming persona non grata. (Unless you get mains electricity in the tea - we have very fixed views about that.)
First the easy bit:
I've made a 'forum requests' bit under the 'admin' category and will move this thread over there shortly.
The more tricksy bit:
Conversations about non-electrical physical stuff, bikes, doorknobs, lathes, mills and FIRE are all very much welcome, but I think the magic happens when they happen in the same space, rather than being segregated off into their own pigeon holes. That was the good thing about the series of Maker Nights we've just run, anyway - all different folks around the same table.
How that works in forum-land I'm not quite sure...
I was under the impression that you could post under the 'projects' category outside of the 'electronics' and 'microcontrollers' sections I'd set up. WRONG! My mistake, sorry about that.
I'll jiggle things around a bit, but I don't think I want to head down the route of naming all making disciplines, for that way lies much wailing and gnashing of teeth. There may, admittedly, be some moderate amounts of wailing/gnashing as we find an alternative that works, but lets use it, keep talking and see what we can come up with...
Please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position. Make sure your seat belt is securely fastened and all carry-on luggage is stowed underneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead bins.... <turbulence light comes on>
