We have hidden forums called "Review Drafting." Most of you have never seen them because only previous Authors get access. Lately, there hasn't been a lot of action in there, so articles aren't getting drafted and published. Also, it's a royal PITA for one mod to manage all the articles and all the administration behind the scenes to give the new authors access.
** The goal is to get more interactive help from all members on new article submissions and reviews. It's a really tough job to expect one mod to manage, and it's not a good shared job because of so many steps to make for getting new Reviewers set up to get into Drafting. With Tripod on break, we have a lot of new and old articles languishing in draft mode...
So, my suggestion is to:
- Turn the http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/review-drafting/ Drafting forum into a Wiki forum, so that all members can safely make edits to the original draft. At will. If someone messes up, we just roll back.
- Give access to the Review Drafting forums to ALL members. No longer just the pre-approved drafting helpers. (no visitors can see them)
- Develop a procedure for Article authors as well as helpers to earn ChipTalk Store Points to buy poker gear.
When boiled down to those three goals... what do you think?
