Discussion for editors (old post content removed).

Please note all future planned articles here:
http://www.gamingonlinux.com/crowdfunding/index.php5/Article_Schedule
That also has a list of games that need to be reviewed sometime.

Different groups explanations
Editor - Can access most things.

Contributing Editor - Someone from the community who has proven trustworthy enough to post their own news now and then and has requested permission to skip the review queue, doesn't get full admin panel access only partial.

Applying to be an Editor
If you wish to apply for either role, then you need to have submitted a few articles previously and have them approved to show your interest.
Cheeseness Mar 24, 2013
Yeah, this seems fair enough to me (I think I always do this anyway ^_^ )
Hamish Mar 24, 2013
Sounds fine to me.

Usually when an article does not seem of sufficient quality and the like I do tend to leave it for you to deal with Liam. :P

EDIT: One thing I would like clarified is what governs the Editors Picks.
Liam Dawe Mar 25, 2013
Editors picks - whatever the editors (so any of us) find more interesting than normal.

If there are already quite a few, just remove the oldest one to add a new one.
Alex V.Sharp Mar 26, 2013
You could come up with some ruleset for the Editor Picks as well, just so there is no confusion on the issue later on.
Liam Dawe Mar 26, 2013
Yeah that probably is a good idea as well, I will come up with rules for that once i've made it easier to do editors picks.
Liam Dawe Apr 8, 2013
I'm setting a limit on 3 Editor Picks at a time folks just FYI. In the next day or so I will add in a check to make sure it doesn't let anyone (including me obviously) set anymore than 3.
Cheeseness Apr 8, 2013
Do editor picks automatically expire or get removed when trying to add another, or do we need to "unpick" to add more?
Liam Dawe Apr 8, 2013
You need to manually untick them, I will do a better system for it when i've upgraded other bits :)
Hamish Apr 9, 2013
One small problem: I was editing my Postal review to add a note that they did make a Steam release in the end, but now it is complaining about it having too short a title and it is refusing to take my edit.

No rush. I was just curious ^_^
