Sharon Waxman of The Wrap interviewed Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher of Re/Code about their future plans.

Here is an excerpt:

SW: How big is the editorial staff?
Kara Swisher: It’s 18 to 20 now, and we’re adding a couple now. We’re hiring more business people, and a reporter to cover tech policy. We just hired James Temple from the San Francisco Chronicle to write about beat we didn’t have: biotech and health.

Has everyone from the D editorial staff joined Recode?
WM: One hundred percent of D people came to work for us… Everybody came. The developers, the admin, the editorial, the business people. Our conference production folks are contractors and remaining so.

Do you have a central office?
KS: We may co-locate with NBC in New York, in Washington, D.C., and here. Right now we’re where we are. Walt has small office. We’re not immediately relocating.
