Last meeting on wiki? http://wiki.pp-international.net/Pirate_Times_teammeeting Had no attendees.

Articles (progress?) Regular service, no specials.

4) URGENT article routines need to be fixed. URGENT = losing a lot of relevance not being published right away. Clearly marked as URGENT when article is done Domi + Joseph inspect the e-mail reminding plug-in in WordPress to add a mark into subject line (collaboration e-mails) Notify editorial leaders (Daniel or Andrew) directly OR if not found any other admin has the ability to approve article and publish (Josef, Gefion, Domi)

   http://ppintnews.piratepad.eu/ppiga2013
   * add new volunteers from the mailing list for an article (AR)
   * is there somebody planning to flight there?

6) Organising pictures / "Image Bank"

new plugin for media tags

Daniel wished a new plugin to organise uploaded pictures. Now people can add tags to images. User permissions need to be updated, so tagging can be done by every author. (--> Joseph) "Image Bank" is a picture repository. Gefion suggest to co-use the repository of Flaschenpost and wants to talk to the tech guy. good names and tags for every picture.

license Adding license line to the image description is needed. Featured Images should show their description automatically under the article- Template alteration is needed.

7) Guides new: new starter guide

new: cooperation guide

All guides now in WP - review required (Joseph)

8) updating old articles with new info (Justus)

On recent articles, where altering events happening on the subject, an update should be processed and published. A new section Update would be added to the article.

Vote: When a recent article would be updated? a) We only update articles to correct things that were factually wrong

Andrew, Josef, Gefion, Daniel, Ed, Pat

b) we only update very recent articles with new facts (+corrections)

Justus, Domi

Result: Articles are updated, if there are things to be corrected. New events on the same topic would need to be covered in a new article.

9) Guest-articles? Invitation? separate page

   Only part I'm missing is more details on what type of areas we cover which can be found in our general purpose:

---

Topics we write about

Pirate Topics (Global PP related news)

Pirate Party News (Election Results, changes in Pirate Parties + EU parliament)

Target group Our target group are pirates and people interested in pirate politics around the globe. We want to reach people interested in international politics and on how these develop. Also we want to be a source of information for pirate parties without their own newsletter.
