  1. editing collaborative subs that are released

    This is not a bug report, more a call for a new link in the author page or something. Currently, there's no easy way to access collaborative subs where you are not the first author and have already released as a normal sub from your own author profile. I know it's the norm to release a sub and be done with it but what if someone other than the first author of a collab sub got some new inspiration and wanted to edit and improve it? Currently, all he/she could do was run a search on it and then when it pops up, go into Edit mode. But really, I think this is too roundabout a way for second author onwards and seems to be somehow making a needless distinction b/w authors on collab subs based on some kind of ordering that give them slightly different editing powers over the sub. I know there's a bit of a feature creep issue with collab subs and I think this is clearly one aspect of it, just thought it worthy pointing out.

    I think Mourn brought this up too. I will be making them available in browsing author section. So when you view all subs by author, there will soon be a collab link there to show collab subs. Or I mix them in with those, not sure yet, haven't started putting it together.

    This is definitely an issue!

    I see, well, seems like you have some good starter ideas. I just happened to get an urge to edit old work sometimes which hasn't yet extended to non-Wiki collab pieces but I never know when my urges will come so I thought I will mention this.

    When you browse an author's subs, there is now a link to view all the collaborative subs the person has. This includes ones the author started as well as the ones that he is named on.

    I think that matches the intent.

    Sweet. Also, I see that I've resurrected the Author Hompage from version 2.
