Writer application

Food for thought/discussion

 * Task: What kind of starting task should we have for interested writers? My initial idea was to use the Setting article as starting point for the task. We could assume that this setting would be considered as canon and agreed upon and interested writers would flesh out e.g. 3 themes that they would like to explore in PARPG writing-wise, based on the setting article.
 * Place: Starting task submissions have to reside at the wiki. We shouldn't accept any other form of submitting writing concepts for this position as the to be found writer will have to work with the wiki down the line anyway. If somebody can't be arsed to actually use the wiki for sending in his writing proposal, chances are good that we run into workflow problems later as well.
 * Timeframe: How much time should we give interested writer to flesh out their proposals at the wiki?
 * The jury: Who would make decide which writer gets chosen in the end? Should we have a panel of (lead) developers who would make the call or should we rather encourage a specific developer, e.g. zenbitz as head of mechanics to recommend a writer to the team. The would be free to follow or not follow this recommendation.
