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)

  • Arbitration report - Unfortunately, I won't be able to write the report for the next few weeks, because of exams. David Mestel 20:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

• Future stories
  • Wikimedia/Bauer lawsuit -- Not to be published until the lawsuit is completed.
    • I've refrained from including a mention in ITN but could we at least acknowledge its existence? enochlau (talk) 01:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
      • We can mention its existence. There are very special caveats to mentioning this lawsuit that I cannot discuss on-wiki, so any coverage of this story needs to go through me, via e-mail, before you post it, even in your userspace. Ral315 (talk) 05:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Discussion
  • Notice to all: Tutorial series needs more tutorials because we've run out! Thanks -- enochlau (talk) 23:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Regarding the WikiProject report: I could do this. Any ideas for a Wikiproject to cover? Or has anyone else expressed a desire to cover this? weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 15:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
    • No, we've actually been looking for someone to do this. There are suggestions in the top section on WP:POST/N/S, though you can certainly suggest one you think would be better. Ral315 (talk) 07:05, 8 May 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)
