Re: [WikiJournal-en] WikiJournal-en Digest, Vol 29, Issue 2

My suggestion would be to change it to "*organizing* lists of names, credentials and emails of potential peer reviewers for submissions" -- I agree that the editors are the main way of finding reviewers, but organizing the past reviewers and new ones into a database helps a huge amount. Having a way of catching, organizing, and querying the database will make things work more efficiently, especially as the journals scale up.

I personally don’t think this task fits here and should lie with the coordinating editors, as this might require area expertise.

Identifying potential reviewers is probably beyond-scope for a technical editor. I reckon we remove that task line.
