[WIP]
In a nutshell
The Editors team for this special issue was Alex and Gersande. In order to help the small groups (teams 1, 2 and 3) connect their ideas in a joint concept as well as exchange feedback and make editorial decisions, Alex and Gersande facilitated a process with several steps. In a nutshell, we started with listening to all of the teams' ideas, summarised them and looked for the common ground. After that, we facilitated a meeting with the group representatives. Once we agreed on a joint narrative and angle, the groups had their time to re-assess their concepts and align them with the overall Special Issue's needs. The editors also worked on the texts, parts of the publication by writing, editing, copy-editing and proofing. They created the introduction for the Special Issue.

Editing of the publication
[step 1: form and structure] Alex and Gersande agreed on some structural elements on the letter: to be in the form of a letter that addresses the reader as a Player. This decision was inspired by the "letter to ourselves" Gersande wrote earlier. We also wanted to address our readers directly, gently and speak to them from the perspective of the box. Since part of the overall concept was to make the box a precious object, giving it a soul was also part of that intent. The structure was to be: a paragraph about the context (productive play and productive environment), another one about the box and one about the content (that gives some hints what to do with it).
[step 2: first draft] Having all of this in mind, Gersande wrote the first draft.
