This project has been mostly replaced by Today's articles for improvement. |
This page in a nutshell: Spotlight is meant to highlight an article for one week, and attempt to improve it via live discussion in our IRC channel. |
Spotlight was a process by which a number of editors collaborated online and concentrated on improving a single article through IRC. The project's history can be observed through its newsletter.
The article currently under the Spotlight is at Suggested articles.
Please add your name to the participants here, and suggest articles here.
