Subject: [Meimc-publication] paper suggestion

hey all,

i'm currently looking at the paper and finding all sorts of little typos 
(mostly mine) and layout confusions (also mostly caused by me) - now while 
this frustrating (extremely frustrating and depressing), this all helps to 
inform me on what needs to be done differently and watched more carefully for
the next issue of the 
paper. It'd be great if there could be feedback from others here on the 
list, what works, what doesn't, suggestions on how to improve things so 
the paper is more clear/organized/interesting. I think we need more people 
than just myself and alasdair doing copy editing, so maybe we need to have 
an earlier deadline so either some sort of editable pdf (i think that 
exists) or probably preferably a copy of the Quark file of the paper can 
be sent to more people, 
who can have more fresh/removed/awake minds to edit it with. I see a lot 
of little things that slipped past us I think just as a result of kind of 
LIVING the paper for several days straight almost, and people who hadn't 
stared at the paper contents for hours on end might have picked up 
immediately. So - if you can think of ways to improve the paper, and/or 
can get involved on the copy editing side (meaning you'll have to have a 
way to view and edit a copy of the Quark file - i'll leave 
it up to our tech people on how to best make that possible. You'll 
probably also need a basic knowledge of   
how to use Quark - maybe we can get together a mini-training ) Other IMC 
print teams are all able to gathering in a central layout office
to put together the 
paper, but i think, due to the distance between all of us in the state, 
it'd only feasably work by somehow sharing the editing online.  

Ok, that's my thoughts for all. I hope the problems in this issue of the 
paper (most notably in my 
written-too-late-at-night-wish-it-hadn't-been-a-front-page-
feature-lobster-article) doesn't lose readership/trust in the paper.

ah well,
hillary

Subject: [Meimc-publication] deadline for next maine commons issue

hey all --

just a reminder to all people writing for the next issue of the maine 
commons: the deadline for submission is may 8th -- only 2 weeks from now! 
so get writing!

also, this next issue will take our funding down to close to zero. so those 
who needed an excuse to get out and get ads for the paper -- this is your 
excuse. also, if there is one among you who wants "the job" -- which means 
more money for you and more responsibility and more travel, speak up now -- 
there's still time to get a bunch of ads for the next issue.

those who need the ad form and guidelines for selling ads, contact me and i 
will send them.

thanks,
alasdair
