HOWTO Publish Articles

There is a discussion going on in the OpenSolaris discussion forum about the process for publishing articles. This page is an attempt to see how a wiki could be used to achieve the stated objectives: having an initial draft which could be reviewed by the community which after a certain period of time, gets published.

Creating an initial draft
Anybody can put up an initial draft of an article. The article is posted for review by putting in the tag at the top of the page. This lists the page in Category:Drafts.

Publishing the final article
After a certain amount of time has passed from the time the article is posted, for review (say a week), the author can publish the final draft by just removing the tag. If necessary, the article can be protected from further edits. (Not very sure if this is a good idea, though.)
