Multiple ownership for posts/topics #9

This is a much more theoretical thing, but it's worth thinking about.

Gist of it is that instead of a single "author", you have multiple for a given post or topic so that multiple users can edit the post/topic; by this, you can allow trusted users to manage information in a given topic for providing updates, corrections, etc. This would be different from moderation however, as it'd be on a per-topic/post basis for instances where a topic represents a given project, narration, or work of a group of people.

This'd allow much more flexibility than other systems, and allow this project to fill a niche similar to that of stackoverflow, as well.

Warning -- brain dump

StackOverflow has an author field, as well as an editors field, so we could adopt something similar...

Okay, just checked here, and it makes no mention of an editors field, although that does seem to be how they're handling it internally...

For the most part, if you have the rep (or are an admin) to edit a post, you'll always have the rep to edit the post...

Perhaps "community edit" topics?

Possibly, though the ability for the original author to appoint others the ability to edit a topic would be a way to manage things without introducing wiki-like chaos

Revisiting this issue:

We are looking into implementing user groups, which will lead to the ability to maintain a whitelist per category.

This concept can be extended down to individual topics, and even posts.

While I can't imagine allowing users to whitelist/restrict viewership on a per post basis would be popular, category whitelisting is already a requested feature.

Topic editing, however, would be.

Has anyone started work on this issue or is it open for someone to jump on?

Yes and no -- there has been some work done with the concept of User Groups, and while that portion is in, only the "Administrators" group exists.

I am working on-and-off on category whitelisting, and that will use user groups as well. You could possibly utilise it as well. (groups,js)
