Don't worry yet, we'll let everyone know when this gets started. It'll be a little bit before the first issue is released. So all of you wanting to help, we will let you know. But don't be looking now, as I said, we'll probably downsize the immediate staff at the beginning simply because not everyone will be needed. Not that you won't have anything to do with the paper, you can still vote on the name, however, we're not going to need you for any writing of stories and what-not. However, as this project goes along and grows and (hopefully) is popular, then we'll definitely add on as needed.

Let's also note that sometimes, the news has dry-spells. There may be times where the forum isn't the most busy, and then our paper is going to be smaller and that some stories simply won't be printed.

Also, one more thing. We're planning on setting up a forum for the newspaper staff. With this, hopefully we can avoid confusion when this thing starts. Many times, reporters won't communicate with eachother, will write stories over the same events, and then only one is published. In our case, that forum will be where the reporters request events to report on. Basically, first come first serve unless we, the editors feel otherwise.

I may seem like I'm being Nazi about this project, thanks to Manus... but I just know how these things get. I was on Highschool Newspaper class; I know how journalism in the very basic ways, and I want this to be a success.
