Add your ideas for articles in the right category page below, if you want to use the idea for an article, please add your name beside it. Also if you are working on an article, add it here and place your name beside it so that someone else doesn't work on a similar article. These pages will also enable people to give ideas for articles. ## 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

This section is for news and info related to all flavours, and derivatives, of Ubuntu and within the Linux world in general.

/InstallOfTheMonth

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

/ItJustWorks

This section could focus primarily on the average, everyday, non-techie who has made the switch to Ubuntu and has submitted their story.

/MonthlyLetters

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.

/MonthlyReviews

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.

/HowTo

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.

/MonthlyInterview

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.

/OpenMic

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

/MyDesktop

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?
