Is anyone else confused on starting a Yahoo group?

Question

I am trying to start a Yahoo writing group and I don't understand how to set up things such as, where to put the work and how people can comment on the work that others submit. Can anyone help??

Answer 1

It seems to me that any work in a writing Group that people want comments on should be uploaded to the Files section of the Group.  As for commenting on such an uploaded work, it's probably best if these comments be e-mailed directly to the member who uploaded that work.  This e-mailing is probably best accomplished by having the person who uploaded the work post a message stating the name of their work, and then other members can use the Reply feature built in to Groups, then make sure to select the poster's name/ID in the drop-down box for the To field.

However you decide to handle comments on a work in your Group, you can set up a Rules file stating how they should be handled, and have the Rules file automatically e-mailed to all new members.
