More information

Here is a website where you can submit suggestions it would
be better if they separated it into sections, like how to stop the leak and dealing with the oil that is already onshore.

I sent in a suggestion for getting the leaking oil to the surface to be collected.
It is actually worthless because according to the latest information
they can't collect all the oil they are recovering now, quite sad.

From the BP web site, here is the LMRP in action

Notice that even after the valves are closed there is still oil going
into the water from below the LMRP, meaning the seal is not perfect,
meaning the solution, even if it is successful will not totally prevent
oil from going into the water.

I believe the original estimates from BP on the number of barrels leaking
each day was 1,000, talk about missing the mark, if that is the best they
can do then they should not even have a license.

The Oil drum message board is one of the better places public information
is being exchanged. http://www.theoildrum.com/

I find the format of the board difficult to use. It automatically expands
every thread making it very hard to see new responses. It also does
not move post with new replies to the top of the board. Perhaps it is just
my getting used to their format. There are some features of the board I like,
the one which lets you see all of the post a particular person has made
on any subject since they joined.

Ease of use is critical for message boards. I personally like the
La Manzanilla.info format, and the reddit one

Onward through the fog.
