Just to fill everyone in on the timeline for the TOME project:

Submissions will close around the 15th of the month (this month, October!).

We will then spend the next few weeks 'approving' the various
submissions. This will be accomplished in the following manner:
Each submission will be reposted to TOME by me
Each person on TOME is expected to then vote on that submission
There will be three ways to vote
Yes -- The submission is fine as is
Fix -- The submission needs to be changed
in some manner, include a justification.
No!!! -- The submission is evil, munchkinish, and
should be sent to the bit-bucket.
If >40% of the people vote yes, the submission will be accepted
as is.
If the vote fails, but >40% vote 'fix', the resons for fixing will
be posted and the author is expected to fix it and resubmit.
Fix votes take precedence over yes votes. (ie, if both are >40%)
If over 60% vote no, the submission will be scrapped.

If a submission needs to be fixed and resubmitted, it will go to
the bottom of the queue and be posted after all of the first-run
postings. Each submission will be limited to two resubmissions (ie,
on the third vote, the choices will be either yes or no).

Once all of the submissions have been dealt with, I'll edit
them together into the final document.

We need some title ideas too as the original concept doesn't apply quite
as much.

Any questions? Just ask.
