I added style guidelines and a submission template, adapted from those of our last publication, as answers to the project plan post. It would be great to get calls for submissions out sooner rather than later, since we already have plenty of candidate Q&As listed to work from. It would probably be best to have multiple calls, for different chapters of the book, ...
to make it easier to work chapter-by-chapter when typesetting. Alternatively, the submissions could all be answers to one post, with submitters adding links to their answers to a chapter-organized master list.
I request that someone else go ahead and write the call[s] for submissions, since I have to turn to other duties now, and I may have limited ability to MY for the next few days.
We have a nice number of Q&As listed for RH, though they're pretty clumped up into certain sections of the Machzor. There may not be much we can do about that, but maybe someone can find some questions related to other sections. We could definitely use more YK-related Q&A suggestions, for balance.

I'm working on the calls for submissions.
@IsaacMoses I added a few YK questions, and some teshuva questions.

@IsaacMoses I broke it into four sections and didn't ask people to indicate further placement (exact section of the machzor) in the edited submission. We still have the master list for that and I asked people to strike out (not delete!), so in the interests of not burdening editors with repeating info we already have (albeit on a different post), I thought that'd be ok.

I've assembled one submission in each of the four sections. I left comments on a couple seeking input (translation stuff).
Somebody please verify that the English quote in JXG's answer is in fact a translation of the quoted Hebrew rather than a looser paraphrase or summary. It looks like a translation to me but the original formatting didn't convey that and I'd like another person to check. Thanks. — Monica Cellio ♦ 52 mins ago
I want to translate gzeirah in Ariel K's answer. What would be the most proper translation? — Monica Cellio ♦ 4 mins ago

What do we do with citing users who've since deleted their accounts? Just say "no URL" in the "contributors" section?
