User blog:Freehugs41/Wiki Newsletter: Information and Sign-up post.

Alright, guys. The admins have been trying to bring back the newsletter for a while, and we're going to see if we can get one out by July 1st.

But this time, the newsletter will have a different stucture, and I'll explain that now.

We're going to have around 18 positions. There will be 6 different groups and a lot of work will be done in small groups.

First, there will be a group of three editors (more or less) once in charge of overall work, one in charge of all of the content, and one in charge of all of the design. It will be their job to help oversee and polish the paper.

There will then be four or five teams, all of which will work on different sections of the paper. There will be five sections, including Recent Events (Wiki), Recent Events (Series), Wiki Extras (RP, QB, etc.), and User Expression (comics, reviews, contests, etc.). There will be one more section, but we're not sure what to make it yet. We may start out with just four if we do not need the fifth.

Each team will have a manager and two writers/reporters. The manager will be in charge of leading the team and making sure the work gets done. Each team will be responsible for 2-4 elements each month, most likely. For the recent events on the wiki team, that would mean that they would need 2 to 4 stories about things going on in our wiki recently. Like a new set of rules or a new popular activity on the wiki. The reporters would be responsible for the writing and information collecting.

After a few weeks, all of the managers will meet with the editors. They will work from that point on to put the paper all together, and the reporters would have completed their jobs.

Basically, we're trying this to balance out the work and make sure the load is evenly distributed.

As for sign-ups, in the comments, just list what kind of job you'd be intersted in. If you'd like to be a manager or reporter for a certain section, just say so. We'll create more or less positions if necessary.

One thing is for sure, however: '''if you sign up and accept a position after it is offered to you, you have made a commitment to the rest of the staff. Please uphold said commitment.'''

Ask questions if you need to, also!
