A word of caution on such suggestions which are generally welcome to enhance
the services offered by FPL. However, FPL is a non-profit organization that
largely depends on the payment of membership fees. There are still many more
FIX users than FPL members. There is no large permanent staff that is looking
for ideas to implement. I agree that the FPL discussion forums could be
enhanced to be more in line with other forums with better search and
navigational features. There are examples where technology was developed and
tested outside independently from FPL and then donated to FPL and this approach
has worked pretty well. FPL can and does implement incremental changes to
existing tools and services.
