:Sorry for my tardy reply... holiday season! My current interest is in the non-mainline approaches, specifically spheromaks and spherical tokamaks. My main goal is to put articles into the Wiki that are written for the general public -- light on math and heavy on history and general explanation. For instance, I would argue that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZETA this article on ZETA] is what the wiki needs, while this site might want to be much more heavily skewed towards the theory and performance of the system.
:The problem is that some theory is always great. This is especially true in the articles that are more physics related, rather than the specific devices. But my understanding of those topics is limited. I'd love to get a good article on the spherical tokamak up ASAP, but I need help beating it into shape. Would you consider collaborating on an article? If I mock something up would you review it?
:As to images, ANYTHING would help! There's very few images in any of the articles. I just got a great one of the kink instability, but I could really use one for the sausage. [[User:Maury Markowitz|Maury Markowitz]] 23:03, 22 December 2010 (CET)
::Your ZETA article offers impressive historical detail. You're right that the purpose of this FusionWiki is different - less emphasis on history and background, and much more on scientific detail and technical references. So they could nicely complement each other; indeed you may have noted that the FusionWiki is full of references to the Wikipedia for general background information. I could perhaps help you by checking some technical facts; but regarding history, you don't seem to need any help. Regarding pictures, I may have some, but nice plasma pictures are few and far between (e.g., Paul Bellan has a nice sketch of kink and sausage instabilities in his book, but no photo).
::Might I suggest you contact me directly via email? [[User:Admin]] 10:45, 27 December 2010 (CET)
