Baka-Tsuki's Project Model

	Each '''project''' on Baka-Tsuki is an independent entity. Every project ~~has a '''Project Manager''', who is in charge of coordinating contributors to~~ a ~~project and resolving conflicts (even if there is no Project Manager listed, the most senior active translator is assumed to be the Project Manager). Every Project Manager runs their project~~ differently. Some have different format guidelines, others require British English, and others like to chat with new translators before they begin.		Each '''project''' on Baka-Tsuki is an independent entity. Every project runs a little differently. Some have different format guidelines, others require British English, and others like to have chat with new translators before they begin. The '''Project Manager''' is in charge of project-specific guidelines, so it's a good idea to talk to the existing members of a project before joining. Nothing's more frustrating than having a new member come and change something everyone else in the project has already agreed upon.

	If you're not sure about what you're doing, it's always a good idea to contact ~~your~~ Project Manager (or ~~another translator in the project~~) first. Most people are glad to help. '''If no one responds, assume they're inactive''' (unfortunately, it happens a lot... shrugs) and proceed with what you were going to do anyways.

	:* '''Project Editors''' are contributors who tend to perform rigorous editing in a specific project. For each newly released chapter, project editors will examine the entire translation in detail and correct the entire manuscript for fluency and general errors. They often work sequentially, and will consistently perform rigorous edits in consecutive chapters in a project. Project Editors are not expected to know the original source language of the novel. They are expected to be fluent in the target language of the translation.		:* '''Project Editors''' are contributors who tend to perform rigorous editing in a specific project.

	~~===Wiki Usergroups===~~

	If you end up becoming a Project Editor or Project Translator, [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=supervisor please contact a Baka-Tsuki Supervisor]. They will add you to the '''translator/editor usergroups''' on the Wiki. There are some additional access privileges gained from being a part of these usergroups.

	~~Please contact a supervisor ''after'' making a significant number of contributions on the Wiki. They will not approve your request unless you can reasonably prove you are an active individual.~~
