I sometimes think of an idea for a forum post that I want someone other than me to write about, perhaps because I don’t have the expertise or time to write it.
An idea could be to have a dedicated area to suggest posts for someone else to write. These suggestions could be upvoted or downvoted so that we can see what the community would most like to see written about.
It would be good to have a way to stop say twenty people then writing the same post at the same time. Perhaps people could put their name next to the suggestions that they are interested in taking on. I’m not saying that we can’t have more than one person writing on a specific topic, but this could give some indication of how many people feel like they can write on the topic and are interested in doing so.
Would be interested in hearing thoughts on this idea.
We have a thread for this! It’s not on the homepage anymore, but people who track new comments will still see what you post there, it will come up in search results, etc.
It’s possible that I should resurface this thread once in a while to collect new suggestions.
