The 5400 number I have been referring to is the number of articles in the assessment program. Obviously, however, there are many more articles not in the program. However, that is the most accurate number we have at this time. --Rschen7754 (

Should we go alphabetical (with IH and USH at top)? --Rschen7754 (

We can take two approaches to this section. We can either feature projects to drum up support and membership for that project, or feature them to "reward" them for a healthy output. In the second case, the featured project would be one that has been productive for some time, with the provision that a project cannot be re-featured for a year (26 issues). Either way, I don't think alphabetical is the way to go. --

Alphabetical or nomination? (latter might be better because of inactive members) And for the moment, anyone on the participants list cannot be nom'ed. --Rschen7754 (

Definitely on a nomination basis. Going alphabetical would (1) mean it would be four years before every participant would be featured and (2) would feature editors that, in some cases, have left Wikipedia or road-related editing long ago. The first issue should probably go without a featured editor, and should only provide a link for nominations. --

Exactly. And what you said about inactive editors is true; SPUI is long gone! V60VTalk ·

Will write up the standards page tonight and we should put a blurb into the newsletter on it (if nothing else than to shed light on its existence). --
