None of these roles need to be filled by the same person. I think
there are plenty of opportunities for shared leadership and
accountability.
I like the idea of dividing up this work and would point out that
there is a massive need for what I would consider the core editorial
tasks, namely those covered by your point #3 (which Karsten tried to
kickstart).
I think #3, which really is the closest to "editor" of all those tasks
-- the others are more general management -- is a place where we
desperately need a committed person to work, and I would be thrilled to
see you working in that capacity to whatever degree you would enjoy.
Can the three of you figure out a way to divide up the duties that I
mentioned above (or any others that I forgot) in a way that can make
sure everyone feels like their contributions are valued?
I'm sure that we can, and indeed if there are other contributors
waiting out there who feel that they'd like to help in editing then it
would be great to hear from them too.
I'm specifically volunteering to do #2 and also to take a pass over
another 2 contributors' material. I can't bear to edit my own (again,
for the umpteenth time) by the time that deadline comes around and
find it easier to spot minor problems with other people's writing at
that stage.
I guess if three of us do two each then that's six beats edited.
All sounds very reasonable to me. We'll wait 24 hours or so and see
what others think, but I have a good feeling about this.
