We could have a rota system...one person can be "editor" for one week/month, and then change over for the next week/month...this will add some variety to the content of the newsletter...although we should establish a "standard" layout etc...
We could probably have a team of moderators to pass judgement on the newsletter before it gets sent out... ____________________ TiN

i agree, letters that come in need to be filtered otherwise it will become "clutered"
i.e 10-20 people trying to enter write ups on nsr's ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07

Yeah, I did think of that, EB, but we do need some guidelines, lest some overcreativity leads to chaos ____________________ TiN

Ideally I'd have said something like: have a group of people that say have two 'meetings' before the newsletter is released... the first to assign tasks etc then the second to check everyone's done everything and assigning the final 'collating' etc. ....
Whether we could actually make it work or not is another matter
This would mean however that if a coupla people weren't available for any reason or were to busy etc it wouldn't matter so much. |

Considering none of us really have the time to make a whopping great super-fantastic newsletter, in a different format each week/month (another thing that needs to be decided), we should use a standard layout. It would only need doing once, then whover is in charge next time simply slots in news/reviews etc and saves a load of time Its also more proffesional keeping a similar look each issue |

Yeah, I think that the writer each month should be satisfied by having an "editorial" bit where they can rant on about their stuff, and keep to a standard template for everything else... ____________________ TiN

I spose. I just spend all day being professional
On frequency - I think fortnightly is a good compromise to start with, upping to weekly if it takes off and dropping to monthly if there really isnt the content. |

thats is,
this thing is gunna munch large amounts of time.
set up a E-mail account for the thing and have people sent potential articals to it, to make it easy for the "Editors" to decide what goes in and what doesnt.
summin like "BCFnewsletter-admin@hotmail.com" ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07

Deffo to editing. People shouldn't really have a problem with it if it's made clear from the outset - it's the difference between them posting their contribution on the board and submitting it to the 'mag'.
And same on the editorial team - it really does need some marking out of who's responsible for things otherwise it'll all degenerate into 'i thought he was doing it' |

Yeah, we should start making a list of volunteers...

It's easy - wherever we post asking ppl to submit content, we make it clear that it WILL be edited, and may not be included if it's shite. Did I say shite? I meant 'if there isn't space'.
If they've got a problem with that, they shouldn't be submitting it.
Oh, and we never say who edited anyone's copy, so they don't know who to nark at. Or say it was me, cos I don't care if they nark at me, I'm used to it |

To be honest, I don't see why there's any issue concerning editing?...as long as we're not discriminating against opinions, I don't see the problem...we just need to ensure that the language is appropriate etc...and going by some of the posts, I think that some spelling and grammar mods need to be made ____________________ TiN
