It should be noted that the subscriber link capability is disabled for this article, so project leaders will have to go to other articles in the weekly edition to test the new feature.

Actually, the feature isn't disabled - I've not hacked up the "disable" capability yet. I just didn't bother to make this article subscriber-only...the site doesn't offer "send a link" for freely available articles.

It might be good to have free pages link to a page that contains their normal URL (with a note that it isn't actually a subscriber link), just so subscribers don't have to do things differently depending on whether the page they're trying to send to someone is free or not.

(I didn't know you could have non-subscriber articles that aren't ever on the front page. Learn something new every day, I guess.)
