This is a section of the newsroom for The Misplaced Pages Signpost. Below is a list of some Signpost stories in development.
Next issue (April 7)
Please keep discussion to appropriate areas. Add a note here if you are planning on writing a story.
The deadline for story completion is Monday, 17:00 UTC
The current time is Saturday, 08:44 UTC. Update
If you want to write a special story about something that happened and has been reported in the news, please write down the topic below as soon as possible, to avoid me duplicating effort in "In the news". enochlau (talk) 07:54, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- We're going to be really late tonight. Ral315 (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Indeed. Is there anything I can do to help this? weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 18:38, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- The April Fool's story hasn't been written yet; if you can find the information on the various April Fool's jokes, please feel free to take a whack at that. I have a few things I have to get done before I can finish working on this; depending on the timing of this, I'm aiming for a release time of 2300 - 0300 UTC. Ral315 (talk) 20:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Done: User talk:WBOSITG/Signpost. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 21:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- If you'd like, you could write on the administrators who were blocked; if not, I'll pick up the rest. Thanks so much for your help. Ral315 (talk) 22:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply, Ral, I typed that at near 11 last night :/ Nice job with the admin stuff. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 18:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

- Special stories
- Anyone want to cover the April Fools' stuff? Note that a good story will focus a lot on community response to the events of the day. If not, I'll take it. Ral315 (talk) 08:35, 5 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)
