I'm proud to announce this week's interviews with candidates for the 2006 Wikimedia Foundation Board elections. At publication, 13 of the 20 candidates had responded to requests for input, and more responses are forthcoming (so be sure to place the article on your watchlist!)

This week I'll be making my perennial plea: 'Writers Wanted!' We can always use good writers who can find a Wikipedia story to write about. Let me know if you're interested in writing for the Signpost.

Finally, I'd like to thank Michael Snow, who's left the Signpost indefinitely. As many of you know, Michael started the Signpost way back in January 2005 (back when I was a wee newbie). When Michael retired as editor in August 2005, he was incredibly helpful while I learned the ropes. I appreciate all you've done for the Signpost, and for me.

Thanks again for reading the Signpost.
