I don't think we are far short of a full house here now, you have done a sterling job Chris.  I think a little tweak here and there is about all that's left.

One possibility which might just be a valuable resource for members and the wider community is a list of links to photographic websites, there are many valuable websites like Roland Vink's lens database which contains priceless information and data, Birna R¸rslett's lens assessment lists and all sorts of other sites large and small where snippets of info can be found.

Some little annex on this site, not like a thread, or a topic but a searchable list of websites, more like bookmarks but including a little note about what the bookmark will lead to.  My photography website bookmarks must amount to hundreds of websites and I am only scratching the surface.

One of my worries (not that my current idea addresses this) is that these websites contain priceless collections of information.  The chances of anyone else compiling this info is remote.  If  a site closes, for whatever reason, that data which has taken years of significant effort to accumulate, will be lost.
