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/Suggestio.... We want to hear about milestones, events, contests and any other community news.
General comments or suggestions can be left here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signpost.
On behalf of Signpost writers, thanks for reading the Signpost!

Ha! That's user:Ragesoss, real name Sage Ross, who is taking over the 'Post. Clearly I need a good editor before my stories go to print! -- phoebe
