+Each post should go through these edit passes:
+
+1. STYLE -- Editor and writer work together on style and structure.
+2. FACT -- Fact-checking
+3. SPELL -- Grammar and spell checking
+4. GRAPH -- Graphics. Every piece needs a illustrated initial and at
+   least one image.
+5. FINAL -- Final look through before publication.
+
+There's a file called 0PASS.md that has all of the above listed out,
+with a checkbox with the ones that have been done, and who signed off on
+them, and hopefully when.
+
+Notes for each pass can be written (in Markdown) in STYLE.org, FACT.org,
+etc. Actual corrections take place in the primary document.
+
+DO NOT put questions, annotations, etc, in the primary document -- we
+want this to be slowly transformed into something we can publish,
+without adding unpublishable bits. If you want to change the document
+profoundly, git add and commit before and after.
+
+The primary document can be in whatever freakish format our contributors
+prefer, but we prefer markdown.
