Hello everyone,
We heard a lot of complains about how we selected the 10 contributors for the latest wiki write-up project. Our main goal was to select 10 contributors for that project and we wanted to select them as fast as possible so we could release more projects and move through the system faster. So, we followed a random system of selecting the first 10 contributors who commented to show their interested on the project. But looks like many contributors were having problems with this method.
In the past, we would typically get 60 contributors for the same wiki write-up project. Having several dozen people writing about the same issue was not convenient and this is not an efficient system in the site. Also, processing 60 similar wikis for the admins was an extremely tedious process as it was overwhelming to read that many wikis and send everyone’s payments in a timely manner. We were basically stuck in one project for a whole month. To solve these problems, we created a new system where we would select the first 10 commentators who show interest in the next project. But a lot of people were dissatisfied with that system and felt they were not treated fairly.
Therefore, we are now opening this forum where we are requesting all our contributors to give their suggestions and advice on how to best select 10 contributors per project. The following are our new criteria to select contributors per project. So, when you give your suggestions, please make sure they cover these points.
We will ONLY select 10 contributors per project from now on. Please advice what will be the best technique to choose these 10 contributors in an extremely fast and efficient manner. Several dozen people show interest in our projects every time, but we want to choose 10 contributors quickly within 24 hours or less. We want to move through each project fast.
We want to give ALL writers (newcomers and experienced) a chance to write in our platform.
Please advice how to select the contributors from among the newcomers as we have not seen their writing before
We want to give proper credit and value to the talented contributors of our site and not waste our money on the contributors whose contributions are mediocre.
Based on all the above criteria, please give us some ideas on how we can efficiently and quickly select 10 contributors for our project from now on.
We heard a lot of complains about our last selection system! Trust us, we heard you! That is the reason why we opened this forum to get new suggestions from members. So, let’s not argue, rant and vent our frustrations in this forum anymore.
Please give us constructive feedback and valuable suggestions to solve this problem. It will be great if you can send your suggestions before 26th Dec, so we can implement any new selection process in the next wiki topic.
Let’s help each other out and find a solution to this issue.
Regards,
Coolinventor Admins
