Suppose LessWrong had a coauthor-matchmaking feature. There would be a section where you could see other peoples’ ideas for posts they want to write, and message them to schedule a collaboration session. You’d be able to post your own ideas, to get collaborators. There would be some quality-sorting mechanism so that if you’re a high-tier author, you can restrict the visibility of your seeking-collaborators message to other high-tier authors.
People who’ve written on LessWrong, and people who’ve *almost* written on LessWrong but haven’t quite gotten a post out: Would you use this feature? If so, how much of a difference do you think it would make in the quantity and quality of your writing?
I think it could be very helpful, if only for finding people to hold me to account and encourage me to write. Showing me that someone gets what I want to do, and would appreciate it.
