I need to start copying down the reviews people post and typesetting them.

We are back boys!

Now that I'm a videogame reviewer, I can fuck five dudes, right?

What outstanding goals are there for issue 10?

I downloaded all of anons' articles but haven't edited jack shit due to lack of motivation and contributors.
If anyone is up for it feel free to message me on qTox/uTox, see the email field.

Death of the zine :(.

Sorry janitor-kun but I've been busy with IRL and other hobbies so I never finished the reviews I had on backlog.

>>310207
Wasn't talking about articles/reviews, I was talking about co-editors. I'm currently the only editor for the zzzine and I can't possibly keep editing alone forever. More issues will be completed if there are anons sharing the editing load with me.

Not if (You) can help it.

What do you do/what does it entail?

My editing process typically goes like this:

	1.	Gather the latest version of all submitted SLA files, organize into folders.
	2.	Open each SLA file in Scribus:
		2.1.	If there are missing fonts and/or images, request them ITT.
		2.2.	Wait for the missing files then try opening again.
	3.	Edit the submitted SLA files:
		3.1.	Fix grammatical/spelling errors.
		3.2.	Add spacing around text/images where needed.
		3.3.	Make aesthetic changes to improve readability.
	4.	Work around the various Scribus bugs if needed:
		4.1.	Text wrapping around images with an enlarged frame.
		4.2.	Font rendering differences between systems.
		4.3.	Misapplied left/right master pages.
	5.	Create extra SLA files:
		5.1.	Cover pages (front + back).
		5.2.	Table of Contents (ToC).
		5.3.	Foreword (content may be written by anyone).
		5.4.	Gondola cards.
	6.	Publish the issue PDF:
		6.1.	Export PDFs from all SLA files. Look out for rendering bugs.
		6.2.	Number PDFs sequentially as per ToC (001.pdf, 002.pdf...etc).
		6.3.	Run merge command to create a single combined PDF.
		6.4.	Run optimizer to shrink PDF size.

Apologies for the simplistic suggestions. I could help maybe but idk what pieces can be done. Can any of these pieces at least be meted out a bit more?
>1
Is there a common workspace between editors? Or are you doing this all locally and then posting here?
At the very least, is there a running list of the current SLA files in the current issue in a post-chain maybe?
>2
I guess I could try to open up another person's SLA files?
>3
I've only written one article. So, I don't have a good sense for and thus can't really help with that. I could maybe help look over someone else's articles at least?
>4.1
Like sometime the text doesn't fit around images right?
>4.2
How do you do this? Do you have different VMs or machines? I could at least do that on my machine.
>4.3
I don't know what this is. Are the margins/something different on the left v. right?
>5.1/5.3/5.4
These make sense to ask for from people here. Best I could help with is 5.3, though, since I'm no artist.
>5.2/6
I think no matter how you cut it, there'd be a master editor that'd have to do this stuff.
