I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Maintain and improve our editorial quality standards

    make sure there are no inaccuracies, typos, etc. and an article is not too repetitive, long, etc. and html/media work properly, etc.; a similar level of expertise should be required to translators and each Lingua group should work also on quality assurance (even if in both cases, this is not always achievable, of course), because projects as Lingua are becoming a blueprint for the Net as a whole [this belongs better to the translation xchange-only wiki only, but... - bernardo.parrella]

  11. Allow readers to send their own reports, which then we may publish if relevant

    The readers would become real citizen reporters and this would help Global Voices to get even more content. The stories submitted would still go through editors, as happens now.

  16. form committees to reach out to bloggers in countries from where we have no authors

    This would take the onus off of editors (many of whom do heavy recruiting) and allow volunteers to strategize together on recruiting.

  17. Aggregate bloggers' responses based on perspectives, not the media they use.

    Writing on blogs or on Twitter does not necessarily provide different insights, but repetition. This will avoid some redundancy in posts.
