would regular writers still get to be in the reserve writers pool, or would they need to choose one or the other?
Good question, Zhie. I suppose it would be up to the writer. Some folks write so quickly *koff*Zhie*koff* that it wouldn't be a trial for them to participate *and* be on stand-by. The signup questionnaire could be revised to indicate a choice, particpant, reserve, or both.
This past year we did move up submission deadline by a week or two. Remember, the 2006 swap was the first one *this* group owned it, and we didn't want to change a bunch of rules quite yet. And the MiM swap went together so quickly on the heels of the near-disastrous 2005 swap that we didn't have *time* to change anything.
Thanks for your input, Zhie. We'll be talking it over and putting some points out to vote in the next couple weeks.
