   Weekly Community Editorial?
  I was typing up a blog post yesterday and the idea came to me:  How about some sort of weekly community editorial posted on the front page?  I mean, the GDNet dailies are good and all but they don't quite seem the right place for some sort of Editorial style piece of writing.  The idea of an editorial would be a well written piece that presents the author's opinion or thoughts about a given subject.  As with the GDNet Dailies, there would be a place below for other users to post their responses or related thoughts.  It should be different than a regular forum post in that it isn't necessarily written to incite discussion or ask a question, but simply to get people thinking.What I had in mind is a weekly column that is featured on the front page sort of like the Spotlight or IOTD.  Each week community members can submit written editorials to be posted (or queued to be posted, depending if they are accepted or not).  What do you guys think of such a thing?

If you have noticed how much Drew has to 'beg' just to get a new poll at least once a week, a regular contribution that would take far more effort doesn't sound realistic to me. Unless someone really willing to dedicate himself to this.   ;  Well, I'm glad you like the idea.I see an awful lot of good stuff in the Journals as well.  I realize that most, if not all of that is picked in the weekly Journal Land news, but I think there are still a few hidden gems that would be nice to bring up and re-post.  Sort of the 'the best of GDNet Journals', which I think could be worked quite easily into an editorial (or at least the subject re-hashed).   JWalsh's 'rope bridge' philosophy comes to mind.
