I'm still opposed to an OEIS wiki

[Ctibor.ZIZKA]

Max,

I would agree with Neil's comment,
my experience is the actual delay times
are by far not so horrible as you stated.

Sincerelly,

Neil,

But even now we have two versions of OEIS: one ("production version")
is available online, while the other ("development version") is formed
by all yet unprocessed comments and new sequences in the queue that
you are processing.
OEIS version will simply provide a different organization of the two
versions and allow associate editors access to the second version for
preliminary filtering/formatting before your approval. That should
dramatically reduce the length of the queue of unprocessed commend as
well as the time delay for meaningful comments/sequences to get into
the production version (as I understand, currently this delay is up to
a half an year and still growing - something should be done to reduce
it).

Regards,
Max
