The editor window allow the editors to choose which articles they want to review. It is not something which editors are forced to review. So if a editor feels that he is not aware of the topic, he can leave it. Of course any article left out for 2 days without any review will be reviewed by admin. I hope the issue with experts is answered. Except the need for people with expertise in their area, which is impossible. We have over 100 categories with over 20 different areas of articles. If you want to recruit one editor for each area, I guess an editor will get hardly one or two articles for review per week.

It is next to impossible and also impractical to have too many editors on a forum.As long as there is a committed team and admin is able to monitor , it should be good enough. We are not writing articles at a professional level here so that should suffice ...

I agree. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Too many editors will also spoil the site. The authors are expert in their topic. The editors, even if not so proficient, will perform well by way of common sense and knowledge alone.

There wont be no problem if the editor wont have knowledge on that topic by reading the topic he will get some idea about that topic in next article he can edit it. This is a plus point to editors.

Your suggestion is very nice. So, it is advisable that the editors should read all articles currently available in the site, particularly those in which he has less knowledge. This will enable him to edit better. In this connection, I may tell my experience in govt service. There is difference in nature of work in various offices, particularly if you are posted to a different department/ organization on deputation. Sol, on transfer to any new office, I would start my work only a week later. First week, I would read all files and get the idea of nature of work. similar approach of reading all articles will help editors.
