FWIW, and not everyone agrees with my approach, I default to using a mailing list, even if I'm the only one subscribed. If it never scales beyond one editor, that's fine. It makes it easy to add more editors to the pool, gives a simple workflow mechanism (email arrives, someone replies that they are reviewing, then they post the results of their review as part of the dis/approval), and open public archives gives transparency to the review process. The latter is important for explaining to people why one thing was rejected and the other accepted. Also useful for new editors to learn the history of a particular problem, methodology, etc. > Could anybody help me out with this?

What you might want to do is make a dummy page using the man websites GIT repository, and look at another TG-using app to see how it all ties together. Least, that's what I'd do if I had any clue as to what to do. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
