Of course, it doesn’t hurt to poke the editor…

Chris took me to task after this posting, exposing an important part of the Eclipse Corner publishing process: if things seem to be stalled, poke me (either directly or with a bugzilla comment).

Sometimes the process of getting an article published on Eclipse Corner is very time consuming. It all depends on what else is in the queue. When an article in the queue has already been edited and peer-reviewed by recognized experts in the field, publishing it is easy. However, when that edited and peer-reviewed article is behind an article that needs a lot more care and feeding, I very often don’t get to it as quickly as I’d like.

In this case, an friendly virtual smack in the back of the head works nicely.
