[Seattle-editorial] notes from today's semi-formal meeting

[typist at speakeasy.net]

Thanks again Jeremy.  I would just like to add one more thing that maybe wasn't mentioned at the meeting and that is that the "highlight features" may highlight a couple of paragraphs from the article or be a lead written by an editor summarizes the feature in some way to draw a reader into it.  Either way the point is to want to capture the reader's attention to go to the full article.  

Judy
