Would a website with a database backend (the guy who made mctools.org, this would be a great use of those mad database skills ;-) ) be the best way to work this out, or would simply posting to some email list be better? I almost think the email would be easier, since it would be more in-my-face instead of requiring me to type in some URL.
I also am willing to forward my problems/solutions, as well. I tend to think I have a pretty good grasp of this crazy English language, so I'd be happy to be an editor. Of course, cutting/editing people's work is always a touchy subject, so everyone would have to know that all the editors are simply doing their job if they cut/rearrange an article. Editing isn't a personal slam, unless you have a mean, personally-slamming editor!
