You've been here a lot longer (and been much more involved), but here is my understanding of how it works.

Any Mahalo member may claim one Rush Week How-to task per week. They will build the claimed page, and that page will be reviewed and critiqued. The page will either be accepted (with or without requested edits) or rejected (if the requisite sections have not been filled out or if the page is so poorly done that it would require re-writing). The process of claiming and producing a Rush Week How-to might result in the member being invited to join the How-to Team.

As for other How-to tasks, it is my understanding that only How-to team members may claim those tasks. The pages which they produce are still reviewed and critiqued, accepted or rejected by a member of the QC team or a staff member.

The opportunity to be invited to join the How-to team is available every week through Rush Week Hot-to tasks, so at a minimum, any Mahalo member may claim one How-to task per week.
