Project Thread

From DPCanadaWiki

To be created/developped and updated A Project Thread or Project Discussion is a thread in the forums dedicated to a specific project.

On each Project Page (where you start proofreading pages), there is a line labeled "Forum," which contains a link titled "Discuss this Project" (if the discussion has already started), or "Start a discussion on this Project" (if it hasn't). Clicking on that link will take you to the discussion thread that deals specifically with that one project. That is the place to ask questions about the book, inform the Project Manager about problems, ask questions about ambiguous items, etc. Using the project's dedicated forum thread is the recommended way to communicate with the project's PM, PP, and other proofreaders who are working on the project. Once the Discussion Thread has been created for a project, the thread follows the project through all its various queues, rounds, and other processing stages at DPC.

To post a new question or make a new comment in the Project Thread, you must click on the Post Reply button (not New Topic). This is because each Project Discussion is a dedicated thread in the Projects Waiting, Projects Being Proofed or Formatted, Projects Being Post-Processed or Verified, or Archive of Posted Projects forum, as appropriate, and not a separate forum of its own.

This fact also means that while a Project Thread is sometimes referred to as a Project Forum, that name is not really technically accurate, although no one is likely to complain if you use it.
