It's a terrific idea to find and curate wider range of quality content in mentioned subject areas.

Does this look like a good subject split?

I think yes! and @cryptokannon has also suggested few more.

The voting amounts and the number of selected posts may need tweaking. What do you think?

It looks good to me. We could see after running this for a week or two and again revisit on this if that's ok.

Does this look like a good idea?

It's a great idea. The selected Curators in each category will surely help in identifying great original content.

A small suggestion for selected Curators is that, I think they should be at least aware of the content etiquette, basic markdown skills and plagiarism. Also, they should educate good authors to follow the same if they find issues with their posts.

Anyone interested in being a Curator for a Day?

I would like to be the curator for Tuesday - Technology & Science Subject. Maybe this can be splitted into 2 different subjects.

Technology is my core strength and already working on Project #SCM.

Thank you for providing all the opportunities.
