Are you guys going to have a set style or an editor for articles? Someone to dot the i's and cross the t's for example.

Well you'll need to improve your HTML markup. Anyway a style guide would be good practice.

Quoting Woody:
Editor?

Someone who makes the articles layout the same, have the same typography, ensures that the grammar is proper, the spelling is correct and edits the article in general, thus removing the dross and making it better.

Pilot? :F He's a good drawer, but look at the 'style' of this.

I'd say nominate Peter.

I'm not good enough at the lingo and don't really want to do it.

That is the spirit. If TheMi3 wants to do it he should get an offical title and be able to lord it over everyone else, but needs to work on his HTML markup and his typography.

Well, Rince, that example is a one shot where I couldnt be bothered to change it after having typed it all. The difference between an editor and an author is, well, there's a difference. Basically, when the author's got his ideas on paper, they can come out messy, unorganised, It's the editor's job to fix that.

Ill work on my html.

You don't need to know much, just how to markup headings (<h1></h1> through <h7></h7> ), to emphasize text ( <em></em> and <strong></strong> ), to mark paragraphs (<p></p> ) and write lists. There are several other things but these few tags should allow you to mark up (semantically) any piece of text.
