We're asking for your input into our editorial board meetings but you don't have to come down to the paper.

The idea: Readers will be invited to weigh in on an editorial in progress -- in effect, to react to an editorial before it is published.

The first one is right here.

We'll provide a brief summary of the editorial thus far and you'll have a chance to share your own views. Some of you may be quoted in the published editorial. Others' comments may be included in a box that accompanies the editorial.

One warning: If you want to be quoted for publication in the printed paper we'll need your real name.

One reader has already asked how we'll verify identities. We'll contact you by email for pertinent information.

Let us know what you think.
