Notices for contributors this week

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this week's issue! Although publication time was a bit later than I had personally wished for, we still made Monday UTC again. Regards, HaeB (talk) 01:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Everyone interested in Signpost matters is invited to join #wikisignpost irc • web
  • Check http://identi.ca/wikisignpost and the suggestions page for possible news items to cover in the upcoming issue (especially for the "News and notes", "In the news" and "Technology Report" sections), and the Signpost resources page for further sources and other information about each regular section.
  • Possible standard weekly schedule?
  • Tuesday–Thursday: start. Start all pages that are to be included in the next edition. NAN and INN stories/links listed below.:
  • Saturday–Sunday: mature versions. Aim to have reasonably mature drafts of all pages for comments by the Managing Editor, fellow journalists, and other interested users. Signpost editors recommend any structural changes, reductions in length, expansions in scope, necessary coordination between pages, postponement to subsequent issue. Copy-editors go through the drafts.
  • Late Sunday to early Monday: trouble-shooting. Fresh stories added to INN and NAN by the "Next issue deadline" (only if sufficiently topical and important).
  • Monday: last-minute tweaks and copy-edits; publication.
  • Where there may be a perceived conflict of interest in a Signpost writer's contributions, the matter should be raised in the "Article status" table below and a review by disinterested parties requested.

Regular responsibilities

Signpost journalists can claim responsibility for regular features, and continue writing their beat for as long as they wish. If you would like to be a regular writer for The Signpost, add your name to the appropriate task. If you'd be willing to cover a story that is usually covered by another editor, or are willing to cover it sporadically when the normal writer can't, add your name to the Backup list so you can be contacted when the need arises – the more the merrier. If a beat is not assigned to anyone and no draft for the next issue is listed above, anyone should feel free to write it that week.
