As you read The Signpost this week, you may notice a few new features, which we hope will help make it an even more useful resource. One change is that we've added a newsroom page, which you can see linked next to the archive at the bottom of our slightly different layout. The newsroom will give us a place to organize each week's issue, and as part of the page there is a section for you to make suggestions about stories we should be covering. In the past, many people have been dropping me a note when they have a news tip to pass on; now we have a place specifically for this kind of information.
The newsroom is a tool for reporters, but another new feature is designed for our readers. To make navigation easier, we've added a template to each article with links to the other articles for this week's issue. This will make it simpler for you to read through an issue, by just clicking on to the next story after you finish reading.
During my vacation, I've asked Sj, the editor-in-chief of the Wikimedia Quarto, to fill in as guest editor. I appreciate everyone who has volunteered to help out, and I encourage more people to participate, as many hands make light work. I look forward to seeing what has happened on Wikipedia when I come back, and I'm sure The Signpost will be a big help in the catching up I'll need to do upon my return.
