- Interview with Frank Schulenburg (WMF Head of Public Outreach) - in progress.--ragesoss (talk) 16:28, 16 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)
- So what's up with the Beta version? I haven't looked at it, but I assume it's related to the usability project. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 19:56, 13 August 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)
- Sister projects interview - I'm reviving this series after an extended period of hiatus. It may not make it by next issue, but it should be ready for the one after that. OhanaUnitedTalk page 17:28, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Request for comments I've discussed with Ragesoss the idea of doing a story on the history and utility of our RFC process. I was going to hit up User:Mav for thoughts as they were the person who initiated the process at that name, and I'll dig about the page history to see what else to look for. Ragesoss has pertinent info on the wider usage of RFCs. Anyone have any thoughts on other avenues. I was going to ask around about recent RFCs and see how useful the requesters had found them. Might have a chat to a friendly arb? Any other bases to be covered? Any questions I should be asking? Hiding T 20:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- I would like to do another events roundup story -- I'll start a draft and see if I can get it done for this week -- user:phoebe/Signpost events 2 -- phoebe / (talk to me) 16:25, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Regular responsibilities 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. | Task | User | Backup | | News and notes | phoebe | Ragesoss, Pretzels | | In the news | Nobody | Cryptic C62, Ipatrol, X!, Permethius, Hiding, User:Tarheel95 | | WikiProject report | | iMatthew, Garden | | Discussion report | Hiding | Jake Wartenberg, §hep, Drilnoth | | Features and admins | seresin | X!, Garden | | Technology report | Aude | Jake Wartenberg, X!, Ipatrol | | Arbitration report | | AGK, X!, seresin, Tarheel95 | | Dispatches | SandyGeorgia | | | Election report | Tony1 | Hiding | | Talkpage deliveries | X! | Shep, Soxbot, EdwardsBot | | Design & templates | Pretzels | | | Publication process | Ragesoss | seresin, Tarheel95 | [edit] Recent changes 21 December 2009 20 December 2009 19 December 2009 18 December 2009 17 December 2009 16 December 2009
