Hi,
I'd like to request authoring permission for the blog so I can write and post the quarterly report for the Hyperscale SIG. My wordpress account is dcavalca. Thanks!
Cheers Davide
I'm +1 and I like this idea in general, it's the project's blog and we want to have more content on there. SIGs for sure need access and some latitude.
I'm wondering if it would be reasonable to ask everyone who is publishing to the blog to (practically-always) include a review step? Have another person such as a fellow SIG member read it through before publishing?
A review step can use the built-in Wordpress "Status: Pending Review", which is one of three states along with "Draft" and "Published". So it's a human process—when you are done writing, you put it in the state Pending Review, then ask someone else to review it. Once that is done, you or that person can change it to Published.
(This also helps make sure actual Drafts aren't cold-dropped by accident, if the process is to only change to Published from Pending Review.)
The consideration behind my suggestiong is because the blog is treated as an official voice of the Project, we can expect folks inside and outside of the community to think the same. This is the reason we _tend_ to have at least one other person review a post before it goes live; some posts go through a lot of review and revision, depending on its nature.
This suggesting is a way to scale the reviewing that already happens without adding much process to anyone's day.
Regards,
- Karsten

Hi Karsten,
yes, I'd definitely want to get this reviewed before publishing. I was going to use hackmd or something like that for drafting with other SIG members, as I hadn't realized wordpress supports drafts these days. I can definitely use that instead and try this process out. Also more than happy to have you or someone else review before publishing.
Cheers Davide

Thanks David for letting me piggyback on your request. I figured you were already reviewing with others, it just gives us all a chance to think about the wider needs.
Being lightweight is great, this is open source software, no medical IoT devices are dependent on the accuracy of our blog posts. :)
I agree that a shared editor like hackmd is quite nice for collaborating with folks. All the blog posts I work on are in a separate writing environment until the end, and the "review" in WordPress is mostly formatting and the occasional thing that suddenly is obvious on the rendered page.
In such cases, the "Status: Pending Review" might be a good way to queue things up, e.g. if a queue was needed for multiple SIGs wanting Rich to give a once-over before publishing. (If the publish-on-schedule is set, the reviewer can change state to "Published" and the automagic puts it out when the blog author is expecting it to happen.)

I have elevated your account to 'author' status. If you find at any point you lack permissions that you need (I don't think that'll be the case) you can ask here, or ask me directly.
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the initiative to do this!
