Hi dz,
Great to hear you'd like to be involved. I've been /really/ busy the
past few weeks with finishing school, a trip to California, and GLAM
related activities (oh and Regional Ambassadorness!) - so I haven't had
time to sit down and get my "stuff together" for the HOW-TO. But, I'd
love to add you to our HOW-TO gang if you like.
=)

I'd also be interested in contributing-- the BLP experience of last
week was incredibly enlightening, and got me thinking about access...
having the right key unlocked a wealth of knowledge and aid. How to
make that key more widely available, or second nature/common
knowledge? I'm hoping to blog about it soon. In any case, I'd like to
come at some of the HOW-TO issues in general from that noob perspective.
cheers

Anybody interested in tackling this issue?

I'm working on diving into the HOW-TO this summer for Wiki. I do
want to see all of these topics covered - and I'll contribute in
anyway I can. Where do we start? ;-)
Hi Sarah,
I'd be really happy to work on this with you! (And anyone else).
My sense is that there's a lot of work to do in identifying the
problem -- or rather, evaluating the collection of interrelated
issues, and determining where it's best to focus. The things that
seem significant to me are:
(1) Picture of the Day on Commons often seems to be the source of
unnecessary strife (moreso than, say, PotD on English Wikipedia);
(2) It appears that there is not a clearly identified set of
editorial values around what DOES constitute a worthwhile PotD on
Commons;
(3) The technical and social processes for setting a PotD are
difficult to understand and poorly documented.
How about if we collaborate a bit on documenting how things currently
work? I think that process will point the way toward recommending a
solution.
I've set up a page for this project, if you're game!
