Who is the Managing Editor of Scales of War?

I noticed this thread on WotC's forums (which at this moment has received 5 stars from 5 people), and thought I'd "port" it over here, as I know that people from WotC often view these forums as well.

Who is the Managing Editor of Scales of War?

I have been reading some concern and negative comments about Scales of War over at EnWorld.

http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/250357-dungeon-163-beyond-mottled-tower.html

I believe the comments have some validity and should be reviewed.

Moreso, I won't repeat the request for an overall disclosure of the APs story. That request has been made and answered to the degree that WOTC felt comfortable answering it.

However I am curious whether or not there is any one editor who has been assigned to oversee Scales of War, or are the Editorial duties being passed around like the Chapters themselves. That would seem to be a logical question in light of the complaints that the Path lacks cohesiveness and logical continuity.

Though Ari Marmell has said over at EnWorld that a story bible exists for Scales Of War, though would not and could not elaborate on it. He was only making the comment that one did in fact exist.

I'd love to see a WOTC Staffer comment on the issues being raised (and the ones that have raised in the past). either here or over at EnWorld.

Wow.. while I appreciate the enthusiasm of the OP.. The WOTC forum post was a spin-off of a thread right here on ENWorld.

A thread that sort of died...

Not that I wouldn't like to see some discussion on the matter.

I guess another theme to the question might be, "Some people have raised issues about Scales of War. Particularly in terms of continuity, editing, and internal logic. When those issues are raised, is anybody at WOTC interested or concerned, or are we talking in a vacuum?"

What I would like to avoid is just edition bashing or personal attacks. The quality of Scales of War is not tied with the quality of 4E as a rule system.

Nor does any one individual need to be griefed.

However, one does start to suspect that there is "no one at the wheel" when it comes to Scales of War.. and it is being written piecemeal by freelancers from a story bible, with no managing editor to tie it together...
