I would like the site to include all points of view on any topic.
Even though much of the scientific content, such as engineering
mechanics, is universal there still is opportunity to provide
information on nuances between countries. For example, in a bending
moment entry someone may want to point out that in England/Europe the
bending moment diagram is drawn to match the deflection of the beam
(positive moment on the bottom) and the US draws it opposite (positive
moment on top). But if most of the content is provided by people from
the US it will be US-centric.

By the way, I bookmarked your blog.
