Fedora Weekly News: Work Flow
Work flow for Fedora Weekly News Writers and Editors.
Writing News Beats (Mon - Sat)
Everybody works on News Beats all week long with due date on Sunday 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Upon completion of the beat the beat author changes the status in the Beat Sections Table from "incomplete" to "COMPLETE". This provides an indication to the editorial team that there will be no further updates to the content unless the author notifies the editorial team.
Editorial Passes (Mon)
The editorial team starts copying the contents from beats to live issue page (with editorial pass) and a goal to have a rough draft by Monday morning Eastern Time.
An editorial pass should ideally consist of editing the submissions to conform to the StyleGuide, ensuring that the link references appear to be accurate and fixing up any obvious typos or grammatical errors.
Submit the News (Mon)
Max submits the weekly news to fedora-announce-list and fedora-news-list around Monday afternoon Eastern Time.
