The index was a reference to something we've been discussing in the moderators' area of the forum.

Hallo guys,
these days I've been thinking about how to increase the forum's usability.
Now that these spammers are no more trouble, we had a lot of new members, and I noticed that some of them have opened new threads about matters that had already been discussed.
Others also contacted me asking about metal working, which is another matter we already discussed on related topics.
So here's my proposal to facilitate the forum's usability: why don't we create an index of such topics?
I'll try to better explain my idea using examples: we could gather all topics discussing of a certain matter (example: working metal, hardening leather, re-enactment, stone working, etc...), and divide them into groups; collect these groups into an "Index" topic in the "Other" section, and it's done.
I would hire the burden and the honor to look for, group and organize these topic's links into a .doc file, and send it to C_A for the final translation in web language.
Perhaps it's not so important, because the forum's legibility is not compromised: it's more a question of order, and it may come in handy for new members, as well as for elder ones.
Greetings,
Mauro.
Keeping your topic separate isn't an issue Thom, we just didn't realize that your chucker was different from the one in the previous topic.
That MURLIN treb sounds interesting. I always like hearing about recent innovations to ancient tech.
