1) author sends article to admin@common-lisp.net
Alternatively we could appoint someone of Impeccable Taste and Moral Chracter as an editor(s), and let the submissions go on editor@common-lisp.net. No need for us to take all the heat. ;)
2) it is "approved" (just to make sure we don't turn into a free-for-all) by the same guys/gals approving projects
3) author gets CVS write privileges to a CVS article module and commits the article. from then on he/she can work on the article directly in common-lisp.net CVS
This I sort of disagree with. I think articles would be better written in privacy, and published as they stand. Putting them on cl.net cvs is liable to encourage retroactive editing, which I personally dislike.
4) author, when comfertable with quality of article, runs ./publish-article <my-article> and araneida+SBCL takes care of things from then on
Sounds good? Can you think of a better way of doing it?
I think I'd prefer just getting article submissions, and then dealing with them. But I'm not very religious about this issue. Cheers, -- Nikodemus
