    hi, the first time we get interest in an empty wiki page Smile

    yes, the author payment system is meant to be a tool to pay authors. Newscoop already has a author management tool built in. the "author payment system" will be inside the author management, probably a tab added for payment. the basic functionality would allow payment for individual contributions (text, pictures, etc.) as well as generating a sum of all unpaid contributions, adding up all open articles by the author.

    such a tool of course requires that there is additional information available per author. besides bank details or paypal, what is needed is VAT and other information relevant for paying authors. e.g. a checkbox for the accountant to verify that the author has signed the agreement / contract with the publisher.

    we are open for ideas here. as you see, it is still a blank page in the wiki. let's continue this thread and collect ideas and experiences to make this feature work in day to day business.

    re: speed up the development. yes, sure, we are interested in support to get features float further up on the top of the priorities list.

    let's keep this thread active, micz
