Ryan put this page (unlinked) together to describe the publication<br>
workflow and roles. There are some tools in the WordPress instance<br>
itself to help us maintain a schedule of posts. I think that would<br>
work well with this workflow. There are some other helpful pages<br>
available too, but this one relates to some info below.<br>
<br>
To use the workflow effectively, I think it's helpful to have a short<br>
weekly gathering, at a reasonably suitable time, to get people<br>
assigned to edit and schedule posts. If we try for something between<br>
hours of 1200 and 1400 UTC (currently, adjust for daylight time<br>
later), would that work OK for interested folks?<br>

I wasn't sure people were aware of the current role memberships on the<br>
Magazine, so while I was logged in I decided to take accounting:<br>
<br>
* Editor: dustymabe, kushal, roshi<br>
<br>
* Author: adamw, amitshah, amsharma, ankursinha, arg, ashutoshbhakare,<br>
Award3535, bckurera, blacksmith, churchyard, cwickert, dwalsh,<br>
eischmann, emichan, gerd, giuseppep, immanetize, inode0, jkurik,<br>
jomoos, jstribny, kinitrupti, kiso49j, krazyabouttechnology,<br>
langdon, mailga, markdude, markllama, mattn, mhayden, phantomhell,<br>
pingou, pravins, rikkiendsley, scollier, siddhesh, sparks, tatica,<br>
tforsman, williamjmorenor<br>
<br>
* Administrator: chrisroberts, cydrobolt, duffy, jreznik, jzb, mattdm,<br>
Mitzie, nb, pfrields, randomuser, robyduck, rsuehle, ryanlerch,<br>
sgallagh<br>
<br>
Right now the default user role is Subscriber, but promotion to Author<br>
should be widely encouraged for anyone who wants to pitch or draft<br>
something.<br>
<br>
There's a Contributor role but it doesn't seem to have much utility<br>
beyond the Author role AFAICT.<br>
<br>
The only difference between Editor and Administrator seems to be the<br>
ability to twiddle the WordPress configuration, which should only<br>
needed occasionally. I'd recommend we move all but maybe 5-7<br>
Administrators to the Editor role, being careful to maintain global<br>
coverage with that group. Any Editor can edit and publish stories so<br>
this should have no effect on our ability to move material quickly.<br>
