The best way is call up an editor and say, "I'd like to write an article for you about Cactus. Cactus is <blah>, will interest you readers because of <blah>, and the article will be about N words long, not counting source code. Can I email you an outline?" Editors have the incredibly difficult job of keeping the covers of the magazine apart. They desparately need articles. They can't pay as much as would seem fair, but enough to buy decent toys. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:general-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:general-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
