Hi Peter, I'm no expert on quality, but IMHO< you know that you value quality if you do not have it. When folks look at a page or a concept that looks incomplete, or not up to a certain standard, they can 'feel' it, and respond in a way to use it less, or refer to it less.
Regarding participation, I think this is essential - when featuring a resource, perhaps there could be a learning activity around the featured resource, to actually help grow the awareness of the importance of quality as a target, and developing quality review as a process. For example, how did it come about; who was involved; roles; history / revisions / iterations and what's next....timelines, changes and available resources.... I think this would be engaging, and could serve also as a launch point for others to get involved at their level of interest and expertise - actually being involved in the middle or the beginning or even towards the end.... - Randy On Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 9:51 AM, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello WE, > > A month ago WE (again) kicked off a discussion regarding quality.
