Planned stages
- Stage 1.0 is the beta stage. The website development is in progress. New user registration is moderated as there are insufficient resources to remove spam. There are around 3 reviewers and one developer. (Current stage)
- Stage 2.0 is also a beta phase, this time with a mostly working site with included training modules with examples for news reporters and reviewers. At this phase there will be at least 5 active volunteer peer reviewers, and at least 3 active developers. This is scheduled for Q3 2026.
- V3.0 (at least two reviewers per major region; open registration; peer review)
