Hi team,
Normally we receive the newcomers with a welcome email providing some
guides as how start writing to the magazine.
Now, viewing some emails i'm getting notice that we have some task pending
in this, for example there are 2 completely differents articles about
writing:
https://fedoramagazine.org/write-for-the-fedora-magazine/
https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/
These aren't duplicates. The first is a periodical article (post)
that Remy wrote to encourage people to join us. It was published in
May of this year. The second is a procedural page (not post) to which
we direct people that shows them how to start the process.
Other issue I bring up in other thread was about content. There
isn't a
guideline about what is allowed and what isn't (regarding is talking about
FOSS or no FOSS, legal or no legal, if a software can be installed from
official repo).
The wiki pages should be updated too, because normally we guide new
contributors to the wiki, and they can get to the wiki pages that have
outdated info:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine/Howtopost
I'd prefer we not direct people to the wiki at all if possible, and
that we retire these pages. Just my $0.02.
I thing we can discuss this in the meeting and assign actions to
take, and
IMHO the right moment is now, that we are receiving a lot of contributors.
Sounds fine to me. I actually have an article template I've started
putting together for the other stuff you mentioned.
