I’m continuing to streamline the process and trying not to break too much<\/p>\n

The Needs Review page now has filters by State and Genre\/Format. The default is still to show stations where the software already flagged the station as needing human review. A new Option is added for “Check Website” where all websites not reviewed in xxx days will show up, sorted with the oldest first<\/p>\n

One of the problems with the entire volunteer thing is it looks so massive when I say there are 10,000 streaming stations.<\/p>\n

I’m going to be my own volunteer. CharlotteNC is me without my super powers and how I’m testing that the programs work reasonably. I’m going to “own” North Carolina and fix all the problems, and visit the 300 or so web sites to review them to see if what I’m hoping for is unreasonable. You can see, North Carolina has 5 “Issues” that need to be cleared up. That’s not a major time commitment – and once they are fixed, the future work will be minimal – unless I choose to take over Idaho or something.<\/p>\n

Since I disbanded the volunteer program a few years ago, it won’t be a shock that Editor is the most active user. Just as a starting point, here is what the current state of things is:<\/p>\n

If we go with the FourSqareish “Mayor” notion that the person who goes somewhere the most “owns” it, here is how the country is at the start<\/p>\n

I’m a little reluctant to push this idea – as it creates the incentive for people to “rush” and “Review” everything without actually don’t any review.   Any thoughts how I can discourage that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
