The issue isn’t one of who does the curation, from my perspective that is the easy part.
Rather that there needs to be consensus building first. It would not be appropriate for a single person to unilaterally apply their vision. Especially since at present less than half of the posts in the category actually fit my idea of how things should be.
I would be happy to once there is some consensus and input.
Hmm. So I see two potential issues with posting directly to the How To category. The first is that a well meaning poster writes something that proves to be factually incorrect or suboptimal. This occurred with the pie chart post which then led to a follow up donut chart post. Ideally these should both have been in Discussion and then curated into a single How To post.
The second issue is posting directly to How To makes it more natural for discussion or replies to the How To to be in that same topic.
However, since both posts and replies can be moved if need be, I don’t see these as being particularly critical issues. What is important I think is to have guidelines in place as to what the How To category posts are supposed to be like, so that subsequent moving of posts/replies is according to those guidelines rather than adhoc decisions to which someone may take umbrage.
