Haven't read the whole thread and the above thread...

just one idea I have for a while now, in case there's a change to come or something… as the recent discussions (especially the thread above) suggest.

I thought if it'd be valuable that there'd be an open "passerby" showcase board, restricted to producers and filmmakers.

I mean open in the sense of free to comment without registration. It could help to get more feedback of producers, consultants, agents, filmmakers in general and gain a complete other kind of feedback as we usually give toward each other from screenwriter to screenwriter.

I think many producers do read here BUT they only seem to contact members if they want to negotiate and exchange when there's definite interest. That's understandable since they may not want to registry in a department to participate, which isn't their own. So they usually just decide between contact, maybe buy, or not.

To fill in the status producer/lector ... etc. could be the only requirement to post.

The point is, I think there's a missed potential here, because there must be lots of producers around since they buy and develop scripts from here constantly. What about those who hang around and search? How many are there? What do they think about the quality? Perhaps some writers are pretty close to draw interest with their scripts but they'll never know cause the producers can't articulate "quickly" about what and why. Also, they may not want to be "the" producer who's openly reachable on a writers' dicussion board. The anonymity, without needing to discuss if not wanted, could help to act more frankly and give some quick advice/impression.

Should the whole producer-angle be vague dark figures as yet?

Of course this sounds like work, so I wouldn't make it a big thing, and anyway, I think I don't have the right to demand sth. from an awesome free board as this is… it was just a thought…

If the one "registration-free-board" suggestion here is rubbish, perhaps there's a different/better suggestion… from someone who gets my point, or the Don himself.

Definitely lots of problems, difficulties and complications to overcome with such an approach, I'd admit that 100%

Just in case somebody mixes this up with the whole production information thing and giving more project information: My thought would be described best as "FILMMAKER NOTES" (only)
