What does an editor do? Editors select, evaluate, describe and organize online Torah and Judaism articles. They are responsible for listing articles according to prescribed editorial guidelines. Editors join the TRD by applying to edit a category that corresponds to their interests. Generally, new editors apply to edit in small categories at first, and then apply to edit additional areas after they have accumulated a number of edits.
Since this is a community managed project, editors can do a lot of other things in addition to listing web sites. Technologically savvy editors can help to build editing tools and features, and share them with the other editors. Senior editors may volunteer to mentor junior editors. An editor can initiate editing projects to improve the overall quality of the directory. The sky's the limit!
