Currently it seems like the LW system for new authors is a bit annoying when it comes to group projects. We’ve just put up a blogpost about a paper from last autumn’s LASR Labs, and found that the whole post has to go through manual review because one of the six authors is new. We tried taking it down and re-uploading it from my account, but that didn’t work.
It’s possible this is intentional? I think the “owner” account might have been the new owner’s account, but I’m not sure. Either way it’s slightly awkward, though I imagine there are more pressing concerns for the Lightcone team.
If the owner is the new user, I’m not sure what real alternatives there are to reviewing the user then.
The user who created the doc is treated as the primary author. I’m not sure offhand how our system treats coauthors who haven’t yet been previously reviewed. My guess is if there is an unreviewed coauthor, the system should ideally get flagged for after-the-fact-review but not be blocking on posting.
If the creating-user wasn’t meaningfully the primary author but just happened to create the post for historical reasons, then I think you can just copy-paste the doc into a new post by either whoever was the primary author, or, if there wasn’t really a primary author, idk, pick whoever else makes marginally more sense to be the document-owner. (You can also message a mod to do this for you but you can self-serve immediately with a pretty simple copy-paste)
If the creating user was the primary author, I think it’s alas just correct for it to go through normal review.
The owner account is what determines the need for review (which I think is correct, since co-authorship works on a trust-basis, and we don’t want someone to avoid initial review just because they add other users as co-authors).
