The UnderGuide is five today... (Sep 5, 2008)
and we're celebrating! Check out the front page for balloons and some selected fifth anniversay entries.

We're celebrating all month, and maybe next month. There'll be something in the next , and a Penny Dreadful, A40592522, for all UG writers and UG members past and present. That'll start on the 13th, on the the next journal thread...

To the UnderGuide, and all who write, read, mine, polish and archive her; .

Calling all UnderGuiders, past and present ... (Aug 20, 2008)
For an upcoming event, pretty soon, we'd love to have (and could really make use of) writing inspired by a particular UnderGuide entry - perhaps a rewrite, perhaps a response, perhaps an entry 'in the manner of'. That sort of thing.

We could really, really make use of this, so if you've a favourite UG entry that just made you feel you wanted to do a sequel, or thought it would be fantastic to write it from a different view point, or wanted to use the style on your own content... please email the UG group or UGeds with it, or leave a message on h2g2 with a link (preferably email though).

There is a deadline - September 5th, possibly a little leeway on that but really not much.

And keep a look out for more here in early September .

UG Changes (Aug 8, 2006)
Even the most seriously together guy eventually runs out of hands - having been juggling life, the UnderGuide and everything else he does around h2g2 in a way that seemed frankly improbable to most people looking on, Matt is stepping down as Editor. He'll still have his fingers in many UG pies (so there's no need for a whip-round for a carriage clock or anything).

I'm writing this as his replacement, a few days after having had explained to me exactly what - and how much - it was Matt did around here. I've finished with the hysterical laughter now and the hyperventilation has died down, so, as soon as I find my way out of this closet, I'm going to get out there and give it a go.

Out to Lunch (Sep 26, 2005)
Sadly, Ben, long term freedom fighter and QA specialist has found herself stuck at the luncheon table with no end of dignitaries and horses doovers to munch through.

With her intermittance, the Archivist that does, the Seal that will and the best of a bad bunch, Pinniped ,is stepping into the rather large hole left by Ben. (no, I'm not saying she's overweight, or large framed, not that that's a bad thing, unless she has high blood pressure...uh. I just mean she will be sorely missed.)

So give him the respect he deserves. And loads of fish (and compliments) and he'll see what he can do for you...

Refreshing the UnderGuide (Jul 5, 2005)
The UnderGuide Headquarters cum Homepage has been given a spruce up, as have the Miners and Gem Polishers pages. Things are a little easier to find now (we think) and hopefully with the new recruitment drive that the sheep has begun, coupled with what's coming through the Pipelines from the AWW, the UnderGuide will continue to grow. As pointed out the AWW is getting almost as much action as Peer Review lately! Yay! So the 'spring clean' will hopefully not only make the UnderGuide even MORE accessible but also attract new Miner's, Gem Polishers and Researchers in general. Perhaps we can help the Post more this way too, don't want to see it go the way of all things simply because an Editor is AWOL

Hope you all like the changes. Let me know if not and I can update again.

New Assistant UG Editor (Jun 13, 2005)
I posted this on the UG offsite forum a few minutes ago-
"Hi y'all.
Lately, since Co-Editor Tube was thrust into some unfortunate circumstances resulting in
his loss of internet access temporarily, more burden of work has fallen on the remaining
two UG administrative editors, Waz and Jodan.

And since I'm lazy as hell, Waz has really been picking up the slack and keeping the UG
running. Rather unfairly, she's been doing almost all of the work. So in an effort to
alleviate this, we decided to find a new assistant editor.

So who? "Who is this elusive figure?" I hear you ask.

Well, we keep you in suspense no longer. None other than Frood U168592. He's a relative
newbie to the UG, but we feel he will be able to really help us out and be a great editor.
He's accepted the job (unless he was yanking my chain) and hope he'll be around soon to
take a bow and give his acceptance speech (which is mandatory... didn't I tell you?)

We're also looking at loosening the definition of editorship and asking some of our
volunteers who have displayed that they have a lot of time on their hands to do some
other duties and administrative tasks. More on that later.

Now. We need some bacon grease and an acupuncture set for the Editorial initiation...

Jodan, on behalf of Ben, Tube, Waz and mostly myself."

Frood.

Hey! You bunch of stoopids! Continuum means Continuing (Jun 13, 2005)
The UnderGuide made a commitment some time ago to help the CAC-C out, but we haven't exactly been fulfilling this promise as evidenced by its absence from the Post for a while. If you want to help - and by absolutely no means do you have to be a miner to do this by the way, drop by U555493 and see how things get done.

They'll be more than happy to help you get into the groove of things, and answer questions.

We probably should mention some time... (Apr 17, 2005)
...Waz has been promoted to a full editor, Ben is a consultative editor, and ~jwf~ is our CAC-C old wise one.

We're always looking for new miners - young and experienced h2g2ers alike. If you're interested, let us know.

Vacation (Jun 30, 2004)
Jodan's going on a short vacation (or long... he certainly deserves it after all, he's been under a lot of pressure, you know... Jodan fix this, Jodan does this fit the guidelines, Jodan clam up this phocoid, Jodan solve this dispute...)

Finally he's heard a voice with a different request.
'Jodan, go on vacation.'

So he shall.

Oh, by the way... about Waz. (Apr 13, 2004)
As of Sunday, March 28th, an experienced, trusty hand at the UnderGuide named Waz was welcomed into the fold as a new assistant editor.

Welcomed on the offsite forum anyway - she still requires an official onsite coronation, so let this journal entry serve as such.
