[Web] Features, Editorial interface

Sun Aug 15 19:40:05 PDT 2004

I had been trying to access it as well with no luck, but haven't tried it since i got back in town after a week long vacation.  I'd be happy to get some stories up along with an explanation of why we haven't updated. I've been wanting to put much more effort into the editorial aspect of the site, because I think we could do a lot better. (I know we're all short time, but I have some to give now w/a new job) I'm also happy to weed out shit posts. I'd be willing to try to move some of the out of place stories, because there are a lot. I don't, however, know how to do that. I haven't spent much time logged in, because I didn't have my password for a long time and now it's been down.

As far as putting features up i'd really like to be able to get the dinkytowner shows publicised earlier. Maybe 4-7 days in advance. I think putting up the notice just before is probably hurting the turn out.

On a somewhat related note I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to sign off on time I spend editing the site for my community service hours. I have quite a few to do and just found out this would qualify towards my hours. I have plenty left to do (60) and would like to get them done before the election. I'd like to be able to vote if I can.

P.S. i also live in the cities again so am able to meet for any projects or whatever.
