What attention seeking whore wouldn’t take part in this?
The idea is simple, write a quality piece on anything Lotus and see if it has what it takes to win praise from Captains of our Industry.
Think about it, you might not have the skills to bust through the defensive line of the New England Patriots or score a goal on Manchester United, but surely you can get an article through the Lotus equivalent?
Give it a try and be considered "Published" in our community, with a lot less overhead.
Notes for Authors:
1. All drafts are private, viewable only by the author and the editor-in-chief.
2. Pending articles are only seen by the edit staff.
3. Published articles will be highlighted everywhere and you will be permanently added to the "Published Authors" page. (I will soon be removing myself from this page).
Notes for Editors:
1. A "Voting" link has been added to the Journal front page to make getting to the voting booth easier.
2. The voting RSS feed is live. It will alert you of new content to vote on (available on the voting page).
3. Your services are required, an article is currently watiing your comment or approval, check it out.
Lastly, big props to Daniele Vistalli for being the first to submit an article which I hope everyone will be enjoying soon.... and also to Ulrich Krause for adding some comments to Daniele's contribution.
Sorry in advance if the title offended anyone.

Yeah Yancy, I’m looking forward to write more and more articles. (and maybe republish older posts in a better form).
I think that the “quality” content in a “quality” container like Lotus journal will be over time even more valuable than single posts in YellowBleeders blogs.
To me quality is the first value for the customer experience. I can never stop saying this (see: http://lotusknows.ideajam.net/ideajam/ibm/lotusknows/ideajam.nsf/0/6989502136B0380E8625761800611371).
Today there’s a lot of “movement” around Lotus (see openNTF) but I think we should hold our breath and work on QA, whatever we create.
The direction the Lotus community has taken is good but now it’s time to work on quality stuff, not just “cool” stuff.
Thanks for everything (PlanetLotus, LotusJournal…)

Yancy, I think you meant “Published” under Notes For Authors #3. Curiously, are there guidelines for Editors as to which articles to vote or not vote on?

@Daniele, good stuff!
@Dan, http://www.lotusjournal.com/voting/ highlights everything that needs voting, and thanks for the catch on the typo!

My question sounded like I was asking as an Editor, which I am not. To clarify, can some or all of the content at ~/voting be public?

In a way, they can be. The editors and author can pass along the url of a pending document, however pending articles aren’t listed at the site since they are not yet published.
