Hi, here is my next try at an improved formal review procedure. I did away with the additional mailing list. The outlined process tries to reduce the burden on all involved as far as possible. Procedure --------- * The author posts a prereview request to the list. Subject line must contain "[prereview request]". * The author posts review request to review wizard. Subject line must contain "[review request]" and the message should contain a link to the prereview request. The review request must be seconded by two boost members. To second a review request does not imply a positive review. A person who seconded a review request can act as a review manager. If nobody has volunteered so far the review wizard helps finding a review manager. * The review manager checks whether the library is suitable and ready for review. * The review manager sends a schedule request to the review wizard. The subject line must contain "[schedule request]". * The review wizard schedules the review. Reviews will be scheduled on a first come first serve basis, based on the schedule request. * The review manager announces the review. ... Comments? Questions? Thomas Boost Review Wizard
