Sounds perfect!
How should we do this to make it most convenient for authors to submit their articles? How about:
1) author sends article to admin@common-lisp.net
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
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?
Let me know, I'm ready to set everything up this weekend and we can be ready to start accepting articles Monday. Someone creative (*caugh* Miles *caugh*;-) could perhaps make a nice CSS sheet for us (personally, I like the layout Sven used)?

- 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. ;)

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.

I think I'd prefer just getting article submissions, and then dealing with them. But I'm not very religious about this issue.

Ok, so that's how we'll do it unless someone else can think of a better way: send your articles to admin@common-lisp.net (I don't think we'll be flooded) once they are done and we'll upload them.
Please do consider coming up with a semi-unified layout, though.
Erik.

I would be willing to hack up a web submission form using araneida.

And relevant qualified observers too :-)

As an addition, perhaps part of the article can be a lisp form with the title, keywords, and a list of references / relevant URLs that could be searched. I could work on this too.

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).
Cheers,
Christophe
