The Berliner has been the most heavily planned operation in the history of the Guardian. But today is today. Some things have been pre-planned but the vast majority of what will be in tomorrow's paper has not yet been written. The presses have been trialled successfully - but will they work on the night? Will there be a computer breakdown. Everyone is hoping and praying . .
Paul Murphy, financial editor, hasn't got a lead story yet, though his team are working on a merger that may be in the offing. The pictures desk has got some nice looking photos from the weekend but are worried they may look a bit dated by tomorrow. Reporters and feature writers have been arriving in droves since my earlier post.
It's time for me to make my way down to the 10 30am news conference when there will be a discussion of Saturday's paper before each department reads out what they are planning for today.
