[sdiy] Marketplace Question

[bbob]

Exactly, to me it seems almost entirely a QA problem.  If I were setting it
up (which I'm not), you'd start with Tom Stinchcomb's index to divide the
project into articles; each article would have a status, like:

   - not started
   - text entered
   - formula markup in LaTeX (if applicable)
   - graphics scanned
   - text initial QA (2 readers per article)
   - graphics QA (or redraw, as necessary)
   - composition into final form
   - final QA
   - completed/published

Each article would be a "work unit", and each work unit would have to
successfully pass through each status step to complete.  Software programs
like Git allow you to store the artifacts, track status, "check in/out" as
different people do the work, view history, etc... and assign/limit work
access based on people's capabilities, if it's something you want only
qualified people doing.  If it's a volunteer project without a deadline,
you wouldn't even have to do much cat herding: define the work to be done,
if anyone does it, great!  otherwise, ah well.

 It's not rocket science, but it's how rocket science is done.
