Decisions Needed

Pending Deliveries
  • About the Town (Philip Vidal) — Ana lays out; Ana was to receive it Sept 28. Link-count check per mistake #42.
  • Meet Us in St. Louis: Part 1 (Judy) — Emma lays out; Judy sends by Wednesday morning. Cover in hand (`IMG_4393.jpeg`, `1a0e7a20a6c28d96`). Multi-part: only Part 1 runs this week (mistake #38).
  • Francesco's travel piece — Judy sends to Annie Sept 29; Annie lays out. Cover in hand (`101Philosophenweg1.jpeg`, 1280x746, `1a0ecc799724e74a`).
  • Book review (Judy) — Judy sends to John by Thursday Oct 1; 3 photos. Title unknown.
  • Annie's article — Annie lays out; topic and title unknown.
  • Dance for Life Show and After Party (Judy) — Emma lays out; Judy sends to Emma by Wednesday PM. Note an Aug 9 article `editions/2026-08-09/dance-for-life/` already exists (different edition folder, no slug clash).
Blockers
  • Book review title unclear — "Grove Mower book review"; coordinator now confirmed (Judy to John by Thursday). Working title "Book Review" until the text arrives.
  • Annie's article — author/title/topic unknown; byline set to Annie Delfosse provisionally (she has no Articles popup in about.html yet; add one if she is the byline).
  • Sig's Water Terrace piece is built (Ready) — confirm with Sig: (1) caption "sculptural water installation" (her later email, used) vs "feature" (earlier); (2) a real title, since "Obama Garden Art" is Judy's lineup name (mistake #61).
  • Judy asked John about writing an AI piece and discussing an Editorial Page article — John's decision.
