These are excellent thoughts. When I first started running Jukebox in 2013, it was smaller, and I also got the impression (which hasn't entirely abated) that people were wary of Google forms/docs/etc. Having to take part in an exchange on 3+ platforms is a bit of a burden. But it might be possible to do a hybrid model where people who're comfortable with it submit via Google forms.
In the last few years my process has been to manually, unnecessarily-painfully collect DW comment information into an Excel spreadsheet, then use a primitive method to turn the Excel spreadsheet into an HTML table. It's definitely time to revisit that - especially because I tried to move to Google Sheets, had a really frustrating experience with exporting links, and then recoiled: but maybe it was operator error.
I don't know Excel formulas at all. I'm super proud of myself when I can make one cell refer to another cell. You don't want to look at my table code, truly you don't.
So what I'm saying is there's definitely room and opportunity to make it more efficient. :D
