User:Bobo.03/WikiProject invitation to collaborate

Message following the previous thread - WikiProject Military History as an example
After your valuable feedback, I've put together an algorithm for suggesting new editors for your project -- see the table below! Please take a look and let us know what you think -- just add your thoughts as a reply below the table. Once we refine our approach based on your feedback, we'll be ready to deploy it. We're particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on:


 * Does the table give you enough information for each possible candidate editor to decide whether they should be invited to join your project? Any more information you'd like to see?


 * What makes for a good candidate new editor for your project? Some of of our ideas: they've edited lots of articles within your scope; they've edited talk pages of some of your existing members; they've edited articles on topics relevant to your project. Let us know which of these you think are important and any other criteria you think would be useful.


 * How interested are you in getting suggestions for both new and more experienced candidate editors?


 * How much system support would you like in inviting new editors to your project? Would you be interested in an automated approach, for example, the system inviting the most suitable candidates each week? A semi-automated approach, for example, a single "button" to generate a invitation to a candidate? Or would you prefer to manage the invitation process totally manually? Other ideas?
