I'm pleased to announce the newest issue of the The Wikipedia Signpost:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost
which has several important changes:
* A new editor: User:Sageross has agreed to take over as editor in
chief from User:Ral315, who was editor from Sept. 2005-Dec. 2008.
Ral315 did an amazing job in keeping the Signpost going for so long
and we are all very grateful for all his hard work.
* A new look: with a design led by User:Pretzels, the main page of the
'Post is redesigned.
* New coverage: The Signpost plans to cover more community news, both
from within the English Wikipedia and from the whole family of other
Wikipedias and Wikimedia projects. For instance, this issue contains a
story on the Commons Picture of the year contest. This issue also
debuts a new feature: The "Discussion Reports And Miscellaneous
Articulations" (DRAMA) report, which covers ongoing discussion threads
that are happening on en:wp. We all know it's tough to keep up with
all the interesting discussions that happen, and it's our hope that
the Signpost can play a role in making these conversations more
accessible to busy editors. This new feature will be refined over the
coming weeks and suggestions are welcome.
* As always, to keep this project going contributors are needed. If
you know of something interesting going on out there in wiki-land,
either on en:wp or on another Wikimedia project, or if you have an
idea for a story, please leave us a note on the Tipline:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Suggesti….
We want to hear about milestones, events, contests and any other
community news.
General comments or suggestions can be left here:

On behalf of Signpost writers, thanks for reading the Signpost!
