I love this initiative. I think it's a great way to share insights in the community. I believe the process can be a bit quicker. I published an article in the game design section and it's been in the process for over two weeks. Is this normal?
Right now perception is also important for this initiative.. I'd say critically important because we want to always be active. Members publish on all sorts of odd bursts.. you may see 4-5 new articles that pop up on a Friday and then nothing Monday-Tuesday when everyone is recovering from a long weekend of drinking. ;) For us we try to smooth out the bursts by spreading out publishing. If we get to a point where we are getting a larger backlog each day with this initiative we can start opening up the hose a bit and pushing more out the community for review each day.
