How should we do this to make it most convenient for authors to submit their articles? How about:
- author sends article to admin@common-lisp.net
I would be willing to hack up a web submission form using araneida.
Features that I would like to see in an article system are:
* ability to store multiple revisions of articles, and retrieve any of the versions (for bonus points, also a diff); revision tracking;
* ability to retrieve articles in multiple formats (TeX/Docbook source, html, postscript) if the source that the author submits permits easy conversion;
also probably other stuff. To interested parties, I suggest having a look at http://www.arXiv.org/ (though I'm sure we're unlikely to have to scale to their level in the short term, having some of their features for the end-user would be nice).
