In the "Number of participants" thread, @Cscott proposed publishing an example paper so people can get an idea of what exactly is expected of them.
@Rfarrand (WMF) pointed out that there were concerns that publishing an example would impact the way others wrote theirs.
I would like to second cscott's request for an example, so I've split it into a separate, non-resolved thread. I'm hopeful we can find some kind of compromise with an example that doesn't influence others too much, but provides guidance on structure and focus of the papers.
