'Wikinews streak' comp idea proposal

I am proposing to setup w:streak competition goals over a 12 week period: for example,

  • "write one story each two weeks, and babysit it until it is published" - for as many consecutive fortnights as possible

A role would have to be selected at start of the activity: this could be either authoring a completely new article or this could be taking over someone else's article and doing focused editing on it with active collaboration with others until it is published. It is like a day shift as you are expected to remain available 'on call' for 2-3 days after an event that is being subject of a report, to address concerns from another user or reviewer.

The aim of this is to build a habit of participation with outbursts of eyeballing the page to collaborate with others -- but not every day, to have breaks and reduce burnout. Could you please check out at this section and let me know what you think? Parameters are subject to discussion e.g.

  • 'once every two weeks' or 'once a week' or 'once a month'
  • should this be same for all or each person decides for themselves
  • how long total comp running for, 12 weeks or 24 weeks or some other time
  • some other ideas how to modify this

i would appreciate if you could reply by end of this week, it would be helpful
