These aren't actually Bugs at all, but I couldn't think of a more appropriate forum in which to post this.
1) If we want to submit/resubmit articles that have already been posted to the website, what's the proper protocol? Just resubmit it and pm the editor? Would it be obvious from context that this is a resubmission?
2) Is there any way of searching the PW forums? I wasn't able to find it, but I've also been known to be very stupid about such things.
PS: I'll test the Notepad functionality in a bit, when I get a sec.
Technically speaking, it shouldn't be too difficult to create an explicit resubmission feature in the article database. Add an "UpdateTo" attribute to the entity, and use a recursive relationship between that and the original article's key.
The only headache I could forsee would involve multiple resubmissions being submitted simultaneously - approve one resubmission as the new 'official' version of the article, and other resubmissions need to either be auto-rejected or else have their UpdateTo changed to reference the new version's key.
(What can I say? This is part of what I'm getting my master's degree in - I can't resist the urge to show off.
