Turning on the amendment form in WWWJDIC?

[Jim Breen <Jim.Breen@**********************>]

Greetings all,

Well, the amendment form, etc. has been running for opting-in
list members for a couple of weeks and a few bugs have been removed.

The questions are:

- do I turn it on for use by the great unwashed?

- if so, does it become open slather and visible to all immediately,
or do I put a weeny hurdle in, such as the need to enable the option via
a cookie?

I'd like some views on this before I remove the control rods.

I guess I'm leaning towards going the whole way immediately. My main concern
is that I may be inundated by half-baked amendments.

Oh, and I am considering putting incoming new-entry and amendment proposals
on public view (a la Wiki style). At present they go into a 
logging file from which the "new" ones are extracted. I go over it
to deal with the amedments. A version of the logging file could easily
go on to a viewable WWW page and others can comment. Maybe public 
exposure will raise or ensure the quality of amendments? Comments?

Cheers

Jim
