[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 2515373, member: 143"] I agree that there needs to be an arbitrary cut-off in order to keep this manageable. Although using # of updates as the criteria might be abused. I don't know if anyone would submit 10 1-paragraph "updates" to qualify, but I'm a notorious cynic; and some authors (e.g. Sepulchrave) update very rarely but post massively long updates when they do. Word count could work but it would require a bit more work on the part of the collater to judge (e.g. pasting into a Word doc and checking the count). I'd even go higher, and start with those authors (if we're grouping it that way) with >50 total updates/20,000 words to get things started, and then expand it as time permits. I know if I was starting this project, and I had 200 threads to categorize, I might be more than a bit intimidated. Something like this to get the ball rolling... I'd offer my help (I do a lot of this kind of stuff at work), but since Websense blocks ENWorld, :mad: I defer to the other capable wordsmiths of the forum. [/QUOTE]
