I am excited to see this collaboration. I understand that Kat and Tootles have been working together for some time on this. Awesome job!

I am very pleased to see Kat editing again. So grateful you are here Kat.

There is so much to do that it can be very overwhelming and there are a lot of different places to be working. If you see that someone is working on something you are interested in....why not approach them and ask if you can partner with them on it? True collaboration. I believe that is exactly what Tootles did by asking Kat. And since they were already working together on it, it makes complete sense that Tootles messaged Kat on her wall. That is what I would have done.

El, maybe next time try asking if you can help or be involved rather than accusing anyone of ownership. If we are going to break the cycle of hurt feelings and the constant back and forth, we need to work on trying a different approach. With that legacy here it can be easy to feel left out or pushed aside. I do not in any way think anyone meant to do that here. Instead let’s change our approach. Raise a hand and ask. I think they would welcome the collaboration.

And as to plans, we have to plan. We are also making every effort to encourage the entire community to become involved. In the meantime some stuff still has to be done and the work has started and I think people can ask to be involved and the help would be welcomed and even more plans made. It comes down to communication.

Toward that end I have a suggestion.....it may be counterproductive to some other ongoing discussions as it is adding.....but what about a forum for editors and everything editing? We could call it The Editor’s Corner or something.
