Dear Wikimedia community,
The deadline set for new editor-in-chief applications is fast approaching. As I said two weeks ago:[1]
"Why should you apply? First, you will have established contributors who are currently producing consistently stellar work, thus making your initial learning curve far smaller. Second, it is an area far different than Wikipedia itself; writers at the Signpost frequently use and develop a different range of skills such as editorial judgment and journalistic tenacity.
"Third, the personal reporting you want to do is wide open. With "News and notes" having been on an extended hiatus, you are free to take it in the direction you want, but you will not have to fight to get readers--you will have thousands from the very beginning. Do you want to bring valuable content contributions to light? Do you want to examine arcane financial details of the Wikimedia Foundation and its affiliates? Do you want to investigate sockpuppet armies and their effects? Do you want to be the hub for fostering innovative ideas that will keep Wikipedia relevant for decades to come? The limit, quite literally, is your imagination."
Please send an email to this address (wikipediasignpost@gmail.com) to indicate your interest. I would like to find two individuals so that the overall time commitment is smaller.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards, --The ed17, Signpost editor-in-chief http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost
