[Seattle-editorial] Proposal: Who are active editorial members?

[typist at speakeasy.net]

I very much like that idea of a hook lead paragraph that links to rest of article so that people can easily skim to see what stories interest them and get a feel of the story.

Tuesday nights work fine for me.  It would be good to meet face to face for awhile to discuss breaking up work load so it doesn't all fall to one person but becomes managable for each, set up procedures, define responsibilities of editorial committee and clarify steps needed to become part of committee.
