Submission deadline: 25 hours ago!  Publication scheduled for late Wednesday, October 21, 2015.
Once all tasks are complete, editor(s)-in-chief Gamaliel or Go Phightins! will complete the publication process.

Weekly schedule[edit]

Our current standard weekly schedule:

  1. Thursday–Sunday: start. Start all pages that are to be included in the next edition, either on-wiki or in Google Docs.
  2. Monday: draft. A rough outline of topics to be covered should be in place by the middle of Monday, so that if a regular reporter is unavailable, the editor can find a replacement for that week.
  3. Tuesday, early Wednesday: mature versions. Aim to have reasonably mature drafts of all pages for comments by the managing editors, fellow journalists, and other interested editors.
  4. Wednesday: finish! Last-minute tweaks and copy-editors go through the drafts; publication in the evening.

Current discussion[edit]

Ideas for Signpost features can be pitched and discussed by any interested parties here. Items should be listed directly at the opinion desk or the special desk, submissions from which are automatically transcluded here.
