This is A Bad Thing (tm) - everyone should be made aware of how important their
opinions and thoughts are..

Pffffh.. I'm pretty inexperienced! Yep - I think you're right that it does have
a bit of a different aura to it, I guess I never percieved it as one unfriendly
to my random thoughts and suggestions though.

I am :) Also for the reason that you've convinced me that a good way to
encourage more participation is by making it clear that all opinions are
welcome. I've come up with this prototype:
<http://www.lugnet.com/playground/?p=richard-test2>
The design needs reworking - but hopefully the concept is a bit more clearer
than in <http://www.lugnet.com/people/?n=390>. The other benefit of this is
that it promtes visible feedback - which after all is (IMO) the best way to
encourage people to participate.
