Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Technical/Page from when Pete Forsyth tried to do this same thing in 2016

Placeholder page; as of January 2016, EIC Pete Forsyth is trying to keep a record of the various technical tools that do, or should, form the foundation of the Signpost's logistics -- i.e., subscription, production, delivery, archiving, search, etc.

• bots
  • The publication bot (which has existed in at least two iterations) is broken.
• import scripts
• templates
• the code (does it live in templates?) that generates things like the MassMessage text and the text for Wikimedia-Announce.
• Slack -- our main internal communication tool
• Google Docs -- used for composing many stories
• Hypothes.is -- used for giving feedback on stories submitted on-wiki

• Production bot
• Blog import script

• Trello -- for keeping a list of what's going into the next edition, and maybe other uses
• Newsletter extension -- for "delivering" each edition to subscribers, via Echo notification and/or email

This includes both current and aspirational:

• Subscription
  • enwp
  • other wikis
  • off-wiki (e.g. email)
• Production
  • Writing
  • Editing
  • Copy-editing
  • Formatting
  • Graphics
• Delivery & notification
  • Echo web notification
  • Echo email delivery
  • Delivery of TOC to subscribers' enwp user talk pages
  • Delivery of TOC to subscribers' non-enwp user talk pages
  • Watchlist notification

  • Facebook
  • RSS
  • Google News & similar

  • External
• Human resources
