It might be helpful to add, or at least make optional, a user’s affiliation when they are posting. I may not know that Joyce Maschinski works at the CPC when I read her comments. It would provide more context for users not super familiar with people inside the network.
I agree. Also – in response to one of the items listed on Katie’s TaskIV slide, perhaps “reputation” could be designated by an expert status indicator that is visible with name and affiliation. These could be nominated and then qualified based on position and experience.
