[Writers] Review process and editorial calendar

Hi folks,

I was looking around for these answers but haven't found anything yet. I 
got started because I have a post on hold, but I got to thinking further 
about future posts I have in mind and what expectations to have.

How does the review process work for submitted posts?

How do I interact with reviewers if/when there is no response to my 
updates to a ticket?

That is, once I submit either an idea or an idea-as-draft-post, what 
should I expect to happen? What is the intended timeline for responding 
to the submission, giving a review status update, providing back an 
editorial review for author changes, and publication?

How does that process interact with the editorial calendar? Do you have 
a limit on the number of posts published in a week? Do you only publish 
on specific days? What if the author has a specific date they want or 
need to be published by?

Does the editorial calendar impose any other hidden limitations? For 
example, there could be an editorial goal to have at least one post a 
week from an OSI Board member. Combined with a total limit on the number 
of posts in a week, that would be a limitation on how many outside 
submissions will be published. It wouldn't be uncommon for some of those 
soft and hard editorial goals to not be spelled out in the public 
calendar or to writers, but perhaps there is more that could be said?

Thanks!
