Add your ideas for articles in the right category here, then if you want to use the idea for an article, add your name next to it. Also if you are working on an article, add it here and put your name next to it so someone else doesn't work on a similar article. It will also enable people to give you ideas for your article. ## guys, I've added the categories as pages since if everything is on one page we'd all be trying to edit one page, possibly at the same time, and this would cause problems - Ronnie

Line 58: Line 69:
=== Install ===

Explain an install of an Ubuntu derived OS. What will it ask? What does it install? Not so much a review, more of a showcase.

=== Letters ===

Readers who have something to say or discuss. This would also include snippets from the various 'buntu mailing lists and forums. Entire, full, threads welcome.

=== Reviews ===

Where readers can review software that they personally use, this can also include hardware but with hardware please state if the hardware comes with Linux 'drivers' or they have to be obtained elsewhere.

=== How-to's ===

These would be, again, related to any Ubuntu derived OS. They must be detailed and have relevant screens where necessary. General rule; the more screens the better. Also the writer must say which 'buntu distros the article is applicable to. You can write on ANYthing you wish. Installing/configuring distro's, apps, games, whatever... as long as it runs on some form of Ubuntu.

=== Interview ===

Where someone interviews a person within the 'buntu circle. This can be anyone from a forum mod to a 'buntu developer. Preferably the interviewee would be announced the issue before the interview, thus giving readers the chance to submit their questions.

=== Open Mic ===

Where readers can explain why Microsoft suck and why they chose Linux and 'buntu in particular. BUT; the article will only be printed if it is a serious discussion. No mud-slinging without good reason!

=== My Desktop ===

Readers can send in a screengrab of their desktop and explain how they got that desktop. What background are they using? What font(s)? Any extra widgets or applications that you had to install/configure?
