Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-01-10/From the editor

Again, I don't know if this comment belongs here, but I'll go at it anyway.

I think this community paper is a great idea. I'm an occasional contributor -- basically if I happen to read Wikipedia at some point and notice something wrong, I know how to fix it, but it's purely incidental stuff. I'm also a big Wiki fan. I don't have time to be involved in Wikipedia all the time, but I like to follow along, watch its growth, and tell my friends and colleagues about it. So, for me, the Signpost will be a great resource. I can just come by occasionally and 'catch up' on the goings-on. I'm just curious what will happen to old issues? Will they be saved at least temporarily, or is this more like a transient 'this week in Wikipedia' thing?


 * They'll be archived. We'll probably put a link to the archive at the bottom of the page on future issues. --Michael Snow 00:04, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

A reflection, ten years on
I had not read this at the time, and following the link from today's Signpost, I am delighted by Michael Snow's prescience and modesty in setting the scope and ambition of The Signpost. Kudos to all who took part and have kept this useful resource going, for our community past, present and future! Ijon (talk) 05:58, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
