I’m open to this direction. You mentioned moderation. Any thoughts about who would hold that, what domain? Also wondering about quality assurance — accurate and clear information sharing. That to me is the upside of editing content. A downside is a delay, as you suggest.
It’s possible to create Categories with moderation review before posting, so that would be an easy way to do it.
It could simply have an editing moderator to review posts from circles.
Would this aid language localization? If so, how would it work?
The forums have a built in translation tool: How to use the SoFA Forums translation tool - #2 by Andrew.Grant
So while it would be machine translation, it would be pretty low work and people could post in any language.
