Hi Anna. smiley - smiley

I notice you're still subscribed to the Peer Review thread from the 'Dancing on Tables...' entry. I'm not sure whether you're still reading it.

I've just finished producing a version that I think should be acceptable for the Edited Guide. Since the community seemed to approve the original except for wishing that certain points were added, and at the same time, there was some clamour that the author's style not be meddled with, I just added an intro and then let her speak in her own words.

Here's my question. This entry has done its time in Peer Review, twice in fact. It was scouted. It was returned pending some more community feedback. That feedback has now been taken into account. Should this go back into Peer Review, wait a week (or more) and get scouted again, or should it go directly into the queue for subbing? Even more expeditiously, should we say that I've just subbed it and get it to the Front Page?

The only reason I'm suggesting any kind of 'fast-track' is that it seems the author is terminally ill and dying off in a desert somewhere, and there are acquaintances of hers who would like to report to her that her piece has been published before she leaves this mortal coil.

My version: A819344


Thanks in advance for your advice on this.

PS - I'll be in London on 4th October, next Friday, and I was thinking of dropping by the Towers (again)... will you be around the office? smiley - bigeyes
