mso@oz.net or tag-admin@ssc.com is the best place to reach me soon. To
|
|
reach me immediately, call 206-240-4250. tag-admin is the editors'
|
|
list so I suggest you subscribe to it.
|
|
|
|
There are two parts to building LG. First I prepare the issue
|
|
in my directory, which is currently on my cptr at home. Then to
|
|
post it, I run a few scripts, copy the issue directory to ratbert,
|
|
run a few more scripts, wait for the push, send out the
|
|
announcement e-mails, and rebuild the HtDig search database.
|
|
|
|
The LG docuemntation is at
|
|
https://www.ssc.com/internal/Departments/Technical/Web/LG/
|
|
The big "Building and posting the Gazette (monthly)" is only half
|
|
up to date. Instead, follow the small checklist
|
|
"Building April's issue while the Editor is gone (for Dan)".
|
|
There is one step missing. After step 10, in /LG/www:
|
|
rm current
|
|
ln -s issue## current
|
|
|
|
Both parts depend on configuration files in /home/lg/data/ .
|
|
I modify those on my cptr while I update articles, and then copy them
|
|
en bloc before posting. So there would be concurrency problems if we
|
|
both modify them.
|
|
|
|
Do you want to take charge of the configuration files? SSC's copy is
|
|
up to date now. The first step for beginning a new issue is:
|
|
edit /home/lg/data/ISSUES : add a line for the next issue
|
|
|
|
copy previous /home/lg/data/issues/PREVIOUS.yml ##.yml
|
|
|
|
In ##.yml, delete all entries except the ones you're sure will
|
|
be in the next issue. For next month keep lg_mail, lg_tips, lg_answer,
|
|
lg_bytes, collinge, lodato, okopnik. (Remember to change the
|
|
titles when you receive the new articles.)
|
|
|
|
[Add a section in the checklist for this.]
|
|
|
|
Then I'll just handle the incoming mail, edit the other pending
|
|
articles, and get off my butt about recruiting assistant editors
|
|
to handle an articles each per month.

You might as well handle the issue directory too. In /home/lg,
|
|
as user lg, run 'newissue.sh 92'. That will prepare the
|
|
~/issue92 directory.

Save this info for the end of the month.

|
Mick Conry <michael.conry@ucd.ie> writes News Bytes based on press
|
|
releases and LWN/Slashdot/Register links I send him, as well as material
|
|
he gathers himself. He's usually good about sending the article in a
|
|
couple days before the end of the month. When you receive it, copy the
|
|
LG cover image (200x268) to misc/bytes/lj-cover.png . The Linux Focus
|
|
guy may send a list of links at the last minue, which you'll add to the
|
|
Linux Links section.

|
|
Heather Stern <stern@starshine.org> assembles the Mailbag, 2-Cent Tips
|
|
and The Answer Gang from mail on the linux-questions-only@ssc.com
|
|
mailing list. Just untar them and put them in place, then read through
|
|
them for any obvious HTML errors. Sometimes her script puts an extra
|
|
slash in the IMG tag for the LG logo. Sometimes there's a message
|
|
listed twice in the index and the following hyperlinks aren't matched to
|
|
their label. If so, you'll have to adjust the index links. Her phone
|
|
numbers are on the volunteers page in the LG documentation. You'll
|
|
probably have to hound her to get the columns in on time. She does a
|
|
lot of work to prepare them; it's just there's always something that
|
|
comes up at the last minute.
