In the interest of building up the community of people who want to help manage the editing and publication of stories, here are a list of currently empowered accounts: Admins: chrisroberts, cydrobolt, duffy, jreznik, jzb, mattdm, Mitzie, pfrields, randomuser, robyduck, rsuehle, ryanlerch, sgallagh Editors: dustymabe, kushal, roshi I'm not listing the other roles such as contributors and authors here, but there are a lot of them, which is good and as expected. Thanks to the inclusion of the Edit Flow plugin, we can coordinate work on a schedule, and with multiple contributors at the editorial/publishing level. There's even a calendar on the back end so we can place stories on a timeline and know what our output will look like over time. I was hoping that a few of the folks above would be interested in meeting up on IRC to start getting that cycle into motion regularly. I could envision doing that, say, for 15-30 minutes once a week to check that stories are on track to publish for their given date. This would be separate and distinct from the idea pitching, which can happen on IRC or on this list. For that matter they can go straight into the list of posts with "Pitch" status on the Magazine itself. If you guys like this idea, I could respond with some ideas for how we can drive things straight from the Magazine's built in calendar. This would let us all collaborate and have accountability for getting the stories out (no more moldy queues). -- Paul W.

Agreed. We also want to have some sort of editorial meeting so all the editors can agree on the written style we want for posts. I don't mean the microscopic level of enforcing specific style manuals, but rather overall tone.

Agreed. We also want to have some sort of editorial meeting so all the editors can agree on the written style we want for posts. I don't mean the microscopic level of enforcing specific style manuals, but rather overall tone. We can ask if any of the admins want to go from admin -> editor, but it's good to have folks who can quickly jump in and solve permissions problems, etc. The list we have right now is a good one, IMO - since who knows who's going to be on vacation, etc. at any given time. Best, jzb Editors should have the ability to solve permissions problems -- they are currently set up to be able to add, change and remove users.
