Community pilots that credit contributors clearly

Daeun Choi · 2024-10-30

Calls for stories fail when moderation shifts and credit rules drift. A one-page pilot charter names who moderates, how quickly you respond, what you will edit, and how names appear.

We encourage teams to run two-week pilots before scaling. That window is long enough to surface edge cases—like overlapping submissions—without committing a quarter of moderator time.

Close each pilot with a retro focused on contributor experience, not just content output. The retro notes become constraints for the next charter revision.
