User:Dan/SRM Release Procedures

Pre-release checklist

Final checklist before any SRM product is released:

• Is the issue number on the front cover?
• Do the last three digits of the Alpha Cataloging Data number (on the Credits page) match the cover issue number?
• Are the page numbers properly sequential?
• Are the page numbers aligned with the page borders (399 on the left, 2610 on the right, 200 from the top)?
• Are the schematic pages turned 90 degrees (in the proper orientation)?
• Do the schematics have a release date assigned?
• Are new terms included in the glossary?

• Is the Stardate updated to today's date? (This applies to the first "final" copy; later versions will retain the initial release date, but have version numbers on the back cover.)
