I've thought before that we needed to do better introductions/instructions to each forum, but it hasn't made it to the top of my TODO list.
Dave has been working crazy hard behind the scenes lately to integrate NGA content into our already existing database/content/site. We're super excited about the possibilities that this has opened up for us, including the further integration of both the database and the articles into the rest of the site. PlantMania's idea is one way that we can do that
Thanks for the suggestion! Suggestions are always welcome
