[JoPP-Public] Varia section for Journal of Peer Production

[Mathieu ONeil]

Hi everyone


JOPP has received an unsolicited submission recently and members of the editorial team have been debating what to do about it. Our conclusion was that we should stick with the themed issue format rather than try to put together a "varia" issue as we may not get enough unsolicited submissions to populate such an issue. In addition a "varia" issue might mess with the flow of themed, named issues. So, the alternative is to add a "varia" section to themed issues whenever it is required.


Peter Troxler has kindly volunteered to be our first "varia" editor. Thanks Peter!


The "CONTACT" page on the website featured a contact form which was broken. I have deleted the form, renamed this page "SUBMISSIONS" and am proposing to insert the text below this message on that page. I have put the JOPP editorial list as contact point for general questions and attempted to modify its exact email address to avoid being spammed. If anyone has a better idea on how to do this please let me know.


Regarding unsolicited "varia" submissions (the exact name is still up in the air btw - suggestions welcome) I have used the same contact procedure. I hope that is OK with Peter and everyone else - we can adjust if necessary.


So, see text below for comments and approval by the general list.


cheers,


Mathieu
