Do we need to have a vote onwhich to include if we "Publish" articles? If we use a review process of any kind, could that just take the place of this vote? That at least, is how I see it. Lyellin 00:42, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * If an article was under review for four or eight hours and was "published" by the author, I wouldn't really have confidence in it through that alone. I tend towards having some kind of separate weeding for a Digest, though what I don't know. --119 02:14, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * I feel like having affirmative opinions at talk that "this article is ready" is a better way to assure the reviewed articles are really reviewed.
 * Also, when I think about potential bias in selection of stories on the weekly, it might be good to vote for a set of articles, not individual ones. At this stage, though, this is not that important because the pool of the articles from which we can choose is not that big. Tomos 07:10, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, if voting as it is now is worth a shot, let's try it out. I don't want to vote first because I'm all over this Digest format. --119 07:21, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Nobody's voting on what should and shouldn't be in, so I'll just put up a complete list of articles for the sake of being able to find them later. --119 22:43, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
