Is there a way to use comments as an editorial device? A wiki-like solution, combined with a MS-Word Track-changes features, where you can make changes, and leave comments and it all shows up on the same page? Like with the health care article example, the first 90% of that seems like pure fluff (when it isn't making a false or misleading or questionable statements), essentially padding added to a high-school report to meet an arbitrary length requirement. The real meat and the potentially interesting content is then almost lost in the shuffle. A professional editor would request a complete rewrite. You should be telling us more about DPC, which is new, interesting, and potentially very valuable.
- Mz 11y agoI have no idea if there is a way to use comments as an editorial device. Why do you think 90% seems like fluff? Based on comments on Metafilter where all I did was talk about DPC, I felt the background info was necessary. But I do hope to write a more professional version and I am in talks with a publication that may take it. So I am keenly interested in feedback. Thanks!
