• Discussion
  • Notice to all: Tutorial series needs more tutorials because we've run out! Thanks -- enochlau (talk) 23:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Maybe we could include User:The Placebo Effect/Signpost tutorial for this one. Soxred93 | talk bot 00:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
      • It doesn't look finished... enochlau (talk) 01:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
        • Naw it isn't. I know it can be fleshed out more, but i don't know how. Any help from others to meaten it up would be appreciated. The Placebo Effect (talk) 02:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
          • Suggestion: Run a short item (such as "Signpost Tutorials: Call for Authors"), letting editors know that there again is an opportunity to write a tutorial to be published in the Signpost. (After the first announcement, there was sufficient interest that editors were - I've misstating this a bit, I know - turned away, so another call for writers seems in order.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 12:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • User:OhanaUnited/Sister Projects Interview/Meta OhanaUnited 07:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
    • It is kind of short, but that's pretty much all we can say about Meta.
      • There's more to say about Meta. Let's hold this interview for a week. Ral315 (talk) 03:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
        • What else should I add? OhanaUnited 04:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
          • That's the $64,000 question :) I know that a Meta overhaul was attempted in late 2006 or 2007, moving MediaWiki pages from Meta to MediaWiki.org, and changing a few other things. I don't know what ever came of it, or whether the overhaul was ever fully completed. That would be a good thing to look into.
          • Also, you could probably cover some of the process pages there -- things like Board and steward election coordination, requests for new languages, requests for closing projects, etc -- how they work, particularly. This could be done either via interview, or as a longer introduction to the interview. Ral315 (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
            • I'm open to more questions. :-) Greeves 20:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
              • Going to push it one more week because I have 4 exams in 5-day span last week. OhanaUnited 06:10, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
• For next week, what do people think about interviews with some people from some not so populated sections of Misplaced Pages (such as WP:RM, WP:AFC, etc.)? Soxred93 | talk bot 04:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
