Gary,
In notes over the past month, you have mentioned wanting others to
review the docs you put into a folder for Writer Guide Drafts (under
writer/feedback). However, those docs have a state of Published, so
they do not appear in the Review List.
In addition to the other ways of indicating docs for review (the
Forum, notes to this list), you need to Submit those docs (so their
state is Pending and they appear on the Review List). I'm sure many
people would look at the Published state and think "oh, these have
been done; I don't need to look at them; but why are they not in the
Published folder?" Confusion all around, and the next step of review
doesn't get done.

After I copyedited them, I intended to and did park them temporarily in
another subfolder in the Feedback folder for the Guide, hoping that some
might critique, proof, or otherwise edit them before my placing them
into their "final" parking lot and assigning their status as "published."
Er, ok, but if they are published, then why aren't they in the
Published folder? Items in the draft or feedback folders should
not be published.
Hm, I just realised that I should have "retracted" those items
when I was reviewing them. I have just done so for Chapters 6 and
7. The latest version of those chapters are now the ones I have
put in the Feedback folder.
But again, it was incredibly silent the past few weeks, message-wise.
Heh. I wonder how much of that is due to my complete absence from
the Internet? :-) But seriously, this list usually is very quiet,
even when work is getting done.
Cheers, Jean
