This page serves as a friendly gathering point for those interested in helping at the Signpost. In addition to writing articles and over-seeing the publishing process, there are many volunteer opportunities. Some of these ways to help are gleaned from various WikiProjects. Feel free to share your community-building your ideas here.

Subscribe inline


If anyone's interested, I made an inline subscription template a while back: a small link to the latest issue that works well on personal dashboard pages. It'll show a small "new" icon for a week after the issue goes live, and will show the issue date for a month. (Afterwards it'll just show the Signpost logo.) Enjoy, czar  06:44, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
