A Snape Suggestion

Since the recent discussion over the Snape category and how it should
best be approached I took a look at the awesome Snape heading and its
2000+ posts. It dawned on me that when we were cataloging and going
at top-notch speed, we couldn't do that many posts in two weeks.
That's when this idea hit me; why don't we collectively attack the
main category the same way as cataloging. If we all took 100 posts at
a time simply to weed out unwanted posts, it would not be such an
overwhelming project. (We could allocate the posts ourselves in the
same manner as cataloguing) Further more we could have a few
temporary dump bins for Snape/personal, Snape/love, and Snape/whose
man. This way the cataloger only has two tasks to perform with each
post; is it a Snape worthy post and if so which temp-dump bin should
it go into. When the main heading is empty you only need to divvy up
the dump bins to proceed to the next stage, which would be to assign
the posts into their more refined categories. This would also give
the reviewer of the temp bin an opportunity to view all similar posts
for repetition before dispersing them to their rightful subcategory.
I liked this type of operation for many reasons one of which is the
limited time everyone has in their lives right now that makes it
difficult to commit to the undertaking of such a huge task. Another
is what Jen had said about getting back to cataloging, which is
almost a leisurely endeavor because you are only attacking 100 posts
at a time. I know for myself, I have felt badly that I don't have
time to contribute to any major degree and at the same time would
love to see this project come off the shelf. I definitely could
commit to 100 posts at a time and wouldn't feel that I was holding up
the project if life gets in the way for a day or two.
Just a suggestion
