    I'd love to get an update on this in a month or so. Wonder how many eager volunteers will still be showing up.
    Along these lines, how's the Citizen Journalism thing going at the Oakland Press?

    It is indeed insulting to have an industry person signal you your job is worth no more than a meal at a local eatery.

    So what happens when the volunteers miss a mistake. Or worse, if they insert a mistake?

    Do they have to buy the copy editors dinner?
