<div dir="ltr">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:<div><ul><li>not started</li><li>text entered</li><li>formula markup in LaTeX (if applicable)</li><li>graphics scanned</li><li>text initial QA (2 readers per article)</li><li>graphics QA (or redraw, as necessary)</li><li>composition into final form</li><li>final QA </li><li>completed/published</li></ul><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div> It's not rocket science, but it's how rocket science is done. </div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Nov 7, 2020 at 9:16 PM Bernard Arthur Hutchins, Jr <<a href="mailto:bah13@cornell.edu">bah13@cornell.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
