My first article made me nervous. But once it was out there and people started to respond (positive or negatively), it made me want to write more and better articles. Plus with the contests, I think plenty of people are motivated to write articles. It's so easy that it's hard to say "no".

I wonder however if an article is under Peer Review, can there be a way to make editing marks on the page. I know you can make comments, but it's not the same. For me anyway.

I say 9/10 on the whole process.

I'm a bit surprised this topic never got more attention when I originally brought it up...

One of my favorite things about this web site was always the articles. There was a while when there were never any articles. Now I come to the site all the time. The only thing I would suggest is an article list that is a little more reserved on the front page. I still come here to look at forum posts more than anything, and the articles seem to take up a large amount of screen space. Something on the side so I could still see all the active forum posts might be better.

But overall, I love the new way of creating content.

Honestly, that's the first time that I've seen that post.

Well if you scroll down past the articles, there's the "Interesting" (posts) tab. But IIRC, there was a time where there was a New Content widget on the right side of the front page. On this site, not the old site. IMO, however, I have no problem with the articles being front and center. Compels me to click on one of them just to see the content.

I agree with Drew, er, Gaiiden... better markup would be welcome. Personally, I'm really bad at catching errors as I write so it would be nice if there were a mechanism for others to point out standard grammar/spelling stuff without having to leave a comment. I think Markup would also be equally useful for pointing out content issues.

I'm don't think it would be easy to do, but the article editor isn't super friendly. Browser spellcheck doesn't seem to work in the window, and it would be nice to be able to have a larger viewing area with images in text (or at least a thumbnail).

The only thing I feel could be improved in the article editor, is adding proper latex support. It's kind of a pain using links or images. I know it's not very high on the priority list but it would help when articles are somewhat math-heavy. And the "Preview" button is broken, by the way. It only previews the last saved draft, so when you want to preview your work you need to "save draft" at which point it brings you back to your article anyway, so the "Preview" button is actually redundant. Last time I checked it did this, though, it might've been fixed since then.
