[edit] Special stories

  • Interviews? I have been thinking about a possible series of interviews with the foundation staff. interview questions getting drafted here; please sign up/help out if you'd like. I also added a section for interviews with arbcom/board candidates, looking to the future. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 19:12, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
  • wikimania -- I also want to do a longer piece on the upcoming wikimania -- what would be interesting to signpost readers? -- phoebe / (talk to me) 18:10, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Something on Wikimania would be excellent. Perhaps, it would be best once we have some idea of what will be on the program or who the keynote speakers will be. --Aude (talk) 11:03, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
  • I can tell you for a fact that the presentations have been selected, but not yet arranged into a schedule. They're running a bit late, though, but it might be almost ready; the only event I know about is the one I'm giving (obviously) but even then I don't know when it will be. — Coren (talk) 15:15, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Usability project - At some point, I would like to do a special story on the usability initiative. This might tie in with the staff interviews mentioned above. I need to come up with questions and some background. The usability project is beginning to show results, with forthcoming improvements to the search interface and a new MediaWiki skin, and I expect more. --Aude (talk) 23:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia statistics thesis - Wikipedia: A quantitative analysis. User:Frank Schulenburg is summarizing this.
  • Toolserver - I have something in development about the toolserver. I expect this to be ready for next week. --Aude (talk) 23:06, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
    • That gives me the idea of writing a "What the toolserver can do for you" section the week after Aude's report comes out, if there are no objections. - Jarry1250 (t, c, rfa) 11:29, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
      • I haven't been around at all for a few days, so the toolserver piece is not yet done. The format of my piece can be changed from an interview to something else, with input from others involved with the toolserver. To that, I think the "What the toolserver can do for you" can probably be addressed there, unless you plan to write something much more detailed. In the future, perhaps we can highlight particular tools and people involved with particular projects on the toolserver. --Aude (talk) 01:20, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
        • Yes, that seems a sensible idea. I'll have to try writing it out, and seeing physically how much there is to cover. - Jarry1250 (t, c, rfa) 07:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Interview with Frank Schulenburg (WMF Head of Public Outreach) - in progress.--ragesoss (talk) 16:28, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Regular features

[edit] Beats

Signpost writers can claim responsibility for regular features, and continue writing their beat for as long as they wish. If you would like to be a Signpost beat writer, add you name to the beat(s) you want. If you'd be willing to cover a beat that is already covered by another editor, or are willing to cover it sporadically when the normal writer can't, add your name as well so you can be contacted when the need arises - the more the merrier. If a beat is not covered by anyone and there is no draft for the next issue listed above, anyone should feel free to write it that week.
