I think is should be easier to give feedback on GiveWell. I would recommend not needing to login and allowing people to give suggestions on the text of pages.
I don’t know what you mean by “log in”; you can give feedback on their blog posts just by leaving a name + email address, and their pages don’t have comment sections to log into.
By “suggestions on the text of pages,” do you mean suggestions other people can view? That seems like it would be a technical challenge, and I’d be surprised if it brought in much additional useful commentary compared to the status quo (that is, sending an email to GiveWell if you have a suggestion).
Can you think of any websites that have implemented “suggestions on the text of pages” in a way that led to their content being better, outside of wikis?
3) I think my work in handbooks finds this to be the case. Stack overflow as well. I can’t think of permanent sites, but I think thats cultural and technological. I’m happy to bet at 40% that one of the 3 largest blog sites will in 5 years time.
I think for many they would baulk at the idea of others suggesting improvements for their work. I think it fits in pretty well with the EA frame of mind.
1) Fair point, it’s been a while since I went on givewell.
2) I probably suggest, there is a cursor in text that people can use. If they type is creates suggestions like in google docs. Then there is a button to “see other suggestions” and you can upvote them.
