9. OSU Veg Guides - process Copy guide content into workspace (original remains as public site) Bring together OSU/WSU/Idaho vegetable research and extension personnel as a group in the workspace. Include ag professionals, farmers, commission administrators, people from outside the region as appropriate. Work as a group to develop process and assign content to specific individuals or groups (weeds, fertility, general production, specific crops, etc) – all of this discussed and documented in workspace

10. Collaboratively update and develop the content. Mash-up with photos and video. Link to PNW Pest Management Handbooks (coordinate with that initiative). The group can decide to peer review all or some parts of the content. Some individuals may want to do this to document scholarship or to improve content quality – or to recruit new authors! Publish revisions once they have been reviewed, revised and copy edited. This process is collaborative and iterative. Any group member can update or edit any page at any time. The group would decide how/when revisions would be republished to replace the current article. OSU Veg Guides - process
