Content From WOOFs Past
ENTRY #35

The news of WOOF's revival at Anticipation started me thinking. What would I hope to see in the first compilation of the new WOOF?
More contributors would be nice. Since this does seem to be something of a last-minute decision, I'm not certain how likely that will be, though.
I've been looking through a few WOOFs from previous years, and I noted a couple of items that were almost always included -- and which I hope will be included in this year's compilation.
Convention Newsletter -- There are a couple of issues that were almost always included in the compilation. First, the Hugo Results issue. Second, the issue that announces the results of the site selection vote. I'm reasonably certain that these issues will be included, but I would like to point out a couple of details.
Anticipation will also be presenting the Auroras. My guess is that the results will be published in an issue of the convention's newsletter, so it would be nice to include that issue in WOOF as well. Since I suspect that the site selection results for both the 2011 Worldcon and the 2010 NASFIC will be published in the same issue of the newsletter, I probably don't have to mention that both sets of results should be included.
Progress Report Zero -- Again, it has been traditional that PR0 for the site selection winner is included in WOOF. And as I have noted above, since we will be choosing both a Worldcon and a NASFIC this year, the PR0 for both should be included.
This should at least give this year's WOOF something of a good start.
