no one has touched it since the other week.

That comes from everyone being caught up and busy with too many things :-P The editing and reviewing is something that always seems to be forgotten or set aside for later.


Jean/Clayton - I'm only putting the technical accuracy check mark on the
first page of each chapter. Hope that's OK?

I think that's fine for now.

We have a couple options...
  - putting the check note on only the first page of a chapter
  - using the Wiki Bot to add the check to rest of the pages in a chapter
- using the FlaggedRevs extension (installed, but turned off by default) to flag pages as reviewed


[Just a minor point, to help me keep track of replies.  Can you tag your
replies with square braces and REPLY [REPLY] please,

That's going to be a hard one to implement. I can't add that to the way the mailing list is set up... and getting people to change the subject line (which is what I'm assuming you're asking here?) is pretty much impossible to enforce/implement.

You're using GMail right? GMail threads messages based on Subject (a totally broken and wrong way to do this, but that's how Google does it). If someone changes the subject line, it will break the thread in GMail and show up as a totally new thread/message. Then if someone replies to the original and forgets to edit the subject line, or even edits the subject line and inserts an extra space or some other text, you'll find that the message will be attached to the old/original thread, or will start in its own new thread. Your messages will become even more unmanageable, and hopelessly disconnected from the parent message.

GMail is a royal pain with mailing lists because of this - I use Gmail for mailing lists as well, so have had years of experience with the annoyances of this mail client.

You can set Labels in GMail to help sort your messages...
