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

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

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

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).

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.
