[[:Category:User Guides]]...good idea or bad?

That is true. I'm sure some ground rules would be placed and someone is going to have to review them, which I don't mind doing.

I think it would be difficult to set and maintain the standards of quality that would guide such reviews, especially in the cases where the potential reviewers aren't exactly familiar with the subject being written about.

What kind of things would you expect of a quality article? Would it be okay to just focus on presentation over content when unfamiliar with it? Would it be fair to judge it both ways?

Part of me doesn't want to slow down the process with red tape. I'd really like people to write more guides and I think feeling like they're able to do so freely would facilitate that.

Well, mainly I'm looking at grammar and stuff. Nothing too big o-o. as long as proper English is there, there isn't really much to look over other than the presentation quality.

I guess if it's that alone that would probably be okay to do. I just hope it doesn't get backed up.
