AFT did try to engage readers, but if I recall correctly it had a checkbox saying something like "I am an expert on this subject and I want to provide feedback." This is reaching far back in my hazy memory, but I think that similar features were present in both AFT3 and AFT5.
That's an interesting idea about getting GLAM to focus on review in addition to content creation. FloNight and I have also been talking about expanding the GLAM concept to what I'm calling GLAM+STEM, meaning that we're interested in engaging STEM institutions as well as GLAM institutions in content creation (and potentially content quality review.)
