Next issue: November 1, 2010
Due for publication: 5 days' time! Deadline this week is 3:00 UTC, Monday November 1.
Once all tasks are complete, the editor-in-chief (or nominated deputy) should complete the publication process.
[edit] Notices for contributors this week
-
- 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 – 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 & copyedits; publication.
- Small change to formatting this week: the report name (e.g. "News and notes") now appears as a subheader to the article title, for two reasons: 1) Consistency with the front page, where this has been the norm for years, and 2) To keep the header consistent throughout an issue, displaying the date of the issue an article is in. — Pretzels Hii! 23:54, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

- Thanks, the change makes good sense. The single-page view needs to be fixed though, it currently displays "Single" as section title for each section. Regards, HaeB (talk) 00:08, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit] 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.
