>Quality assessment is a big can of worms. Furthermore, who does the quality
assessment?

PG does have standards of quality.  It's just that the golden-moldies don't
meet them -- if these were submitted today they would be rejected.  If an
old submission doesn't meet current standards of quality, then go fix them,
or solicit a volunteer or volunteers to go fix them.  Or if a current
submission gets accepted [by mistake], but it doesn't meet current
standards, then again, go fix it, or solicit volunteers to fix it.

Michael solicited volunteers on a number of good books, and encouraged me to
do them, even though I was a newbie.  Why?  Because I was willing to do the
work.  And why was I willing to do the work?  Because Michael had good taste
in books.  Putting a ton of time and effort into a tiresome book becomes a
pain in the behind, in my experience.
