From the editor
I regret to announce that I am suspending operations for The Wikipedia Signpost, at least temporarily. The work needed to produce it remains a daunting task for me in particular, and my schedule for the next month would make it difficult to satisfy the standards I have for this project. And even if I had more time, I don't think I could maintain my present level of effort indefinitely. In addition, we would in any case shortly be losing Spangineer, who has regularly been covering featured articles but needs to prepare to resume his studies.
I do wish to thank everyone who has helped in any way, and especially those who have taken the time to write stories. I'm glad that many people have enjoyed and appreciated the work we've done, and I hope it can resume in some form in the near future. To be sustainable, however, it would need substantially more participation from the community in creating the content. I would welcome continued discussion of how we can organize and accomplish this, and make any necessary changes, during this hiatus.

Well, I would be willing to contribute in some way. Ëvilphoenix Burn! 7:08, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
All good things....
Say it ain't so! I love reading the Signpost. But alas, the reason I love it so much is that I don't have the time to find this stuff out for myself.... --mav 00:26, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Right! It's a great resource for people who don't have time to hang out on IRC or to have every single policy talk page on their watchlist. --Chl 20:10, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
