Re: Editors' Communication Thread

@mdw @cherapple it's fine. I feel like that heading really needs to say "View from Main Street" though, as in how it looks from any generic place.

I suppose the other 2 places matter less, in fact in the beginning of "Enter the Entrepreneurs" in that first paragraph, "mainstream" surely fits better than the "main street" that I wrote.

And thank you for the help!

@mdw I sympathize with what you are trying to accomplish with the heading, but it becomes a bit of a mixed metaphor. Also, a phrase mentioned in a heading needs to be thoroughly explained in the body, and fit within the broader focus of the post.

Glad to be of help, and thanks for the appreciation!

Re: Editors' Communication Thread

@cherapple thanks for noticing - I should probaby try to not repeat words as much. Yes, as @rotalumis said I meant to refer to the average Joe, not the VCs or others mentioned. Seems I used mainstream only once, and probably could have worked it in again. I think you're right though, in some parts it could have been reworded to say mainstream - as in what it looks like to my Mom. Use your best judgement :)

@mdw It sounds like you meant "the mainstream" throughout, then. You don't mention venture capitalists until the end, and investing isn't the focus of your article, which is about the general bitcoin community. Your final conclusion talks about Bitcoin becoming "mainstream." You only used the phrase "Main Street" three times, but one instance appeared in a heading. I changed all of them. How does that sound to you?

@cherapple @mdw

In the post you submitted (http://letstalkbitcoin.com/dashboard/blog-post/edit/484), you use the phrase "Main Street" several times throughout. Do you mean to say "mainstream"? Per Merriam-Webster:

mainstream: having, reflecting, or being compatible with the prevailing attitudes and values of a society or group

Main Street (adj.): of or relating to the mediocre, materialistic, or drab aspects of average U.S. town and city life

Please clarify.

Thank you. Cheryl

I don't remember the article offhand, but he's probably referring to this: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mainstreet.asp

@rotalumis Thank you for clearing that up. I was not aware of that usage. Perhaps the general reader won't be either? In any case, I'm glad to know of Investopedia for use as a resource in the future.

Re: The Editorial System we're developing here at LTB

@adam

Once the editor is done they change the status to Pending Review which pings the author again to check the work and confirm the changes. It would be awesome to show them a side-by-side or red-highlight the changes made, otherwise this will be a tedious step.

Do you know about Draft? It uses Markup and has a function for side-by-side editing.
