Of course for project validty, it may be better to have a non-prinicipal contribute (if I write about POI it will not likely be viewed as objective but someone who has written about other APIs will probably get more credibility there), but that is another story.

articles published, I've never actually seen one. (I've seen them on
Maven, Tomcat, Velocity, Struts to no end, Cocoon, Struts). I found the
best approach to this is to spam magazines and complain that they
haven't covered it. Find and article on say JUnit and write the author
"but you haven't written on web app testing with cactus!"
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.
