Issue #20 - Suspense & Decision PBM magazine

[Davin]

We will begin the drive to change by revamping the blog on the Suspense & Decision website:

http://suspense-and-decision.com/

The intention will be to implement an option for site users to submit PBM articles.

I like the idea in general but there are still some questions to answer, such as...

• Could we submit such articles as files outside of the blog itself (so they're not visible until they're published)?
  
• Don't forget a place to put ads.
  
• How do we keep control of spammers?
  
• Do we require logins to submit, and how would we manage them? If so, would anyone complain about having to jump through hoops getting permission to make a contribution, and would that cut down on contributions?
  
• Can authors update their submissions, and how could we tell if they were only updating their own?
  
• Would there be an editorial staff with permissions to review/edit the submissions (perhaps using FTP)?
  
• Would the submissions be stored on the S&D site or would they be emailed to someone to handle manually?
  

I'm considering how a compilation program would work, but in any case it wouldn't be as nice as a human publisher could do. But maybe it could ease the work of a human?
