Sounds great! I will alert the Gnome Journal folks about this. Feel free to ask the Gnome Journal folks what you would like to see if you are looking for something special. We have our own mailing list although we're hoping to move it to the GNOME mail server instead of where it is now. So if you're looking for something in particular that could be possible although the final word is up to Jim Hodapp who is the editor. > I think they accept the Creative Commons License.

Moving back to GNOME Journal later can probably get things translated in other languages. I'm going to assume that contributors must also sign some kind of contract indicating that the magazine has first publication rights. Which is fine (and probably necessary). Having some kind of howto for that would probably be a good idea... sri -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
