Re: [Bug-gnupedia]Changes to articles

[Tom Chance]

I agree. When they are re-entered they could perhaps
have an icon next to them indicating that they're
additions to previous articles for help in moderation.
But they have to be moderated! The entire moderation
process will ne very open anyway, so there's no harm
in putting additions and resubmissions through it
again. Otherwise we'll turn into a glorified
discussion board.
