Health Wonk Review plans

Several folks have expressed an interest in submitting posts to and being kept abreast of our latest venture, Health Wonk Review. Some have asked for copies of the "rules", a word that makes me break out in hives. So, here are the guidelines we're working with today.

1. HWR is going to be published every other week. This may change to weekly based on interest.

2. The host will rotate with each publication.

3. The host determines which submissions are included in their edition of HWR.

4. Submissions will include the poster's name or nom de chroniquer (the nickname under which they post), the url of the blog, the url of the submitted post, and a synopsis of the post.

5. Submissions are due by 9 am EST every other Wednesday - that means March 8, March 22, etc.

6. The host will include the name and email of the next host in their edition of HWR.

7. A separate website for HWR is in development and will be out sometime next week. Details to follow.

8. The host for next week is Matthew Holt - 'matthew@matthewholt.net'; March 22 host is Kate Steadman - ksteadman@gmail.com; April 5 is David Williams [dwilliams@mppllc.com].

9. We are going to see how this goes and take it from there. As of yesterday, there were 577 hits on "health wonk review" on google - so we are getting a bit of traction.

Finally, thanks to all for their contributions, support, and cross posting.
