We'll be depending on subject matter experts within the forum to produce quality reviews, and we'll be learning from mistakes we inevitably will encounter. Most importantly however we'll be looking to tie our articles in VERY closely with forum discussions, so the articles can be augmented with the community input - this will help us to quickly recognize shortcomings and areas needing improvement, as well as ensure anything misleading is properly brought to light. Essentially we'll be looking to close the loop between article and extensive forum feedback.
It will take some time to flesh things out, establish style guidelines so we have consistency/professionalism now that its not a one man show, and overall establish a structure that will stand up on its own without depending too much on any given individual. The most important part of this is extensive community contributions, as the members of the forum and readers of the frontpage will be the content generation engine behind the site - we'll be looking to highlight the great stuff already going on here on the forums.
There's a lot of work to be done, and we've already discussed a lot of necessary items for setting up a solid foundation to make this a success - we had been planning our own frontpage prior to being made aware of the iNet acquisition. We'll continue building that structure outout, and in the meantime we'll be looking to expand out further into the forum. I already have started a list of members who have PM'd me looking to contribute, and the forum moderation and seniors have already been sending articles my way so we can start getting a feel for who we can depend on for content as we also work in the background to provide a structure that ensures our content is quality stuff.
