This site is in BETA. Please see also people and sign up.

1. 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)
2. 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.
