That sounds like a great idea for projects where the readership and/or editorship is low. On those projects, it is very likely that a reader with even a tiny interest in editing can be converted to a good editor, and they are worth the effort because they have a few rare qualities: they can read the language and they have found the project. Has there been any investigations in how we should use sitenotices (and landing pages) to maximise the chance that a reader is converted, where this is sensible? > ...
