*'''Editor-in-Chief''': Wow, this has the most attention than the actual magazine. Here's my thoughts. I feel there should be one or two people that should be in charge of the magazine. There should be a person where, if something goes wrong, or doesn't make sense, we can go to that person. That doesn't mean that person should be able to solve all our problems. Again, I go to the coding example: If there is a need to change the code, the editor in chief shouldn't have the responsibility of changing it, but rather be sure that whoever has signed up as Coders get the message that the code needs changing. While the community as a whole can no-doubt finish the magazine, sometimes we need someone in charge to lead us through it, who can push us to finish it. Such a person could probably be useful now to push us to actually write all these articles. Again, that doesn't mean he/she should do it all himself if we're down to a week, but rather delegate the work so that he/she does some work, and still get others to do it. I guess I'm a little split between you two: I feel that FR's vision of an EiC is a little overwhelming for whoever takes the job. Like FM has explained, the Magazine is a ''community'' project; the editors involved will ultimately see parts of the magazine before the publication. That isn't necessarily bad; like FM, I'm pretty excited to see this come together, and I've seen the magazine coming together for the last two months. '''But''', that doesn't mean I don't see the need in an EiC, someone to push us, to get us together and organized, someone that the other editors can go to if they can't figure out their problems themselves, and someone who can call us all together if needed to finish the magazine. | *'''Editor-in-Chief''': Wow, this has the most attention than the actual magazine.

Again, I'm really excited to finally finish this thing! I join FinalRest in calling everyone else to come over and share their opinions on the magazine.}} | Again, I'm really excited to finally finish this thing!

'''EDIT''': In my opinion, the Journalist Spot could be re-worked a bit to be a little....more organized. I'm still trying to figure out how I would imagine it should be, but all I know is that it needs a little work to serve as the hub for the magazine editors. But, as FM has noted, I don't think it should be a problem for either site to go to the other site to work on the magazine. In the quest for more activity, I'd think the Journalist Spot (and, personally, the magazine and/or podcast) belong on the Keyhole to get activity there (which, from what I can tell, is narrowing in on zero right now). But for the Keyhole editors to come here, or the KHWiki editors to go there, for that to be a problem, I don't think it is.}} | |||
