Community Planning: Methods
  • description
  • more detail
Participatory editing allows people to help shape reports and news-sheets without necessarily leaving their own homes. Reports have a crucial role to play in crystallising the results of community planning initiatives and communicating to others.

The nature and structure of the product are determined by the organisers. A draft is drawn up by writers, editors, designers and illustrators.

Drafts are circulated, or displayed, for comment. Participants make comments on the draft with coloured pens or Post-its.

Editors go through the comments and produce a revised draft which is approved by the organisers. The process is repeated as necessary.

Making comments
Specific suggestions for alterations marked on a draft are more useful than general comments (example shown is from a draft of this book).
