Speaking for myself, I would be very happy to participate. Also, I'm 
not convinced that we require *wide* participation for this to be 
useful to authors. Regarding the issue of equitability, how about 
this: participants vote on the first game to critique; after that, 
only games by authors who have played and commented on other authors 
games within this process, will be eligible for critiquing (via 
whatever selection criteria is chosen).

I think this would be a good idea. I currently don't have any games 
that I want to submit. (I just couldn't get the chicken game to work) 
but hopefully I will in the future. However I will contribute to 
testing games when I can. There are still a lot of games in the file 
section, so to all the authors of those games, why not give this a 
try, drop a line to Matt and get this ball a rolling?  From what I've 
seen and heard at the BDGF (Board Game Design Forum) this has been a 
very helpful tool for the game designers there.
