As you may know, YWS has a knowledge base (accessible via the Resources tab). If you didn't know that, I don't blame you (well, as long as you're not a staffer!). It's kind of hidden, not very user friendly, and sloppily done.
So here's what's changing with the KB when the new YWS rolls around:
First, the posting bug will be gone. The bug currently is just an error message and your post still gets posted, but it is annoying.
Second, all articles will need approval before being posted, and approval will be very strict. Not only can there be no grammatical errors at all, but the content itself has to be well above average. Only members of Big Brother will be able to approve articles, and I'm thinking about making it such that an article needs at least three yay votes before being available to everyone.
As a side note to the second point, all current articles will go through an approval process as well. I haven't decided on what kind of process it will be (could be just me, or a group of people), but just because your article is in the KB doesn't mean it will be on the new YWS.
Third, you'll be able to rate articles, tag them to a favorites list, share your favorites list with others, and other things as well (not mentioning the 'other things' now as they may not make it to the final version).
Fourth, it's going to look awesome, but then again, everything on the new YWS is going to look awesome.
