(03-07-2007 22:13:51)< martinp23 > Yes - I think we could well be there to nudge the chapters into supporting this, and perhaps take a lead in our respective chapters. I think some sort of identity check like OTRS (will) do would be needed indeed.

(03-07-2007 22:15:25)< martinp23 > This just needs thrashing out into a proper system, and I think ComProj is the perfect group to do it. And I would suggest that the wikinewsies here may join the mailing list (see topic link to meta for a link to ml) to discuss it further (and on meta and WN)?
