Of course, there are more people that can find issues than have the permissions or skills needed to fix them using the CMS. I think we should be looking for a way that we can benefit from their eyeballs. Maybe we're just not ready for that level of review yet? Is that the idea? Maybe it would help if you said something like "The website is up and has many known issues in areas X,Y,Z. Before reporting those I could use some help in finding problems in areas A, B and C and discussing on the list ways of resolving them". > Repeating myself. > > Before you go and put a bunch of little formatting issues from websites that > are already known to be a work in progress in BZ two things need to happen. > > (1) Someone besides me has to take ownership on that web project.
