Allow quick exchanges between authors and reviewers
Created by: s.g.ribault
Due to the need to vet comments, exchanges between authors and reviewers are painfully slow. But sometimes, authors and reviewers need to quickly clarify minor points.
There are a number of possible solutions:
- Allow instant messages, which are not made public.
- Transmit reviewer comments and author responses to the other party before vetting, while publishing them online only after vetting.
I am not sure these are the best solutions, but it would be nice to have some solution.
