Guidance for Knol authors

[Murry]

I am inquiring on behalf of the Knol Publishing Guild. Some of our
members have produced scholarly libraries of science-based knols and
offer strong academic credentials. Annotum resonates with these
authors.
Other members have produced non-scientific articles. In the
announcement, Google offered no guidance to the latter class. Could
you
kindly answer the following questions:

1. How will Annotum recruit peers to review articles ported via
Google's
transfer guidance?
2. What will Annotum / Wordpress do with transferred libraries that
are
clearly non-scientific or rank as substandard by all reasonable
measures?

I have read all available content about Annotum, and have not found
answers.

With advance thanks,

Murry

Thanks for your email.  Please note that Annotum is a software tool in the form of a WordPress theme and associated plugins - it is not a repository of articles or knowledge.  Please see the following article for more information:

http://annotum.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/37493-who-reviews-or-approves-content-for-annotum- 

Individuals can choose to move their knol content to a site that uses the Annotum theme, either on WordPress.com or on a self-hosted WordPress site that the user controls.

It is *the site owner* for each of these sites that is responsible for recruiting peer reviewers, submission guidelines, and approval standards and processes.

Regarding your question about article quality, neither the Annotum software team nor the WordPress.com hosting group will make any restrictions on what content is transferred, or created, assuming the content lies within the very broad terms of service (http://en.wordpress.com/tos/) for content  on WordPress.com.
