Good thoughts there, Devin. Text files would indeed be more accessible, and
allow people to easily "grab" them, use excerpts, etc. This seems user
friendly, which is good. I question whether editing makes sense, because that can sure
slow things down, especially if the editor is not the same person as the
writer. I'd say that even dated stuff might as well stand, as it will be presented
as something from the archives.
Perhaps each of us could go through some back issues and suggest some items
we think are worth presenting on the site. Once some of those are picked, we
have incentive to move forward with this plan.
