Kia ora koutou ko Finn,

Apologies for having to send emails from my yahoo account.
Subdimension POP3 is great but their webmail is CRAP! Roll
on me@indymedia.org.nz!

Anways, Finn rote:
>> I have a solution to unhidden articles going to the top
of the list though:
*Open publish.php3
*Open hidden article
*Go to the Edit page for the hidden article
*Cut and paste vigorously between edit page and
 publish.php3 *Click Publish!
 
Article now at the top of the wire :) I don't mean to be
flippant, but there has only really been a few articles
unhidden, so the above option is easiest. <<

I see your point ;) I suppose if a lot of stuff was being
hidden and unhidden it would be more of a problem but in
theory hiding should only happen after discussion and
consensus anway and unhiding should be the exception rather
than the rule.

When I made those suggestions I was looking forward to a
time when the newswire is very busy and we have a large
collective of reader-volunteers who clerk in the course of
their browsing. Remembering those who have older machines,
use internet cafes etc time can be a factor in whether
people can make this kind of contribution. So I was
thinking about ways to reduce the number of page views (and
thus the amount of time) taken up by clerking tasks.

RnB,
Strypey
