Hi all!
I bet most of you have heard of this website, news.opensuse.org. Sometimes people post random vaguely openSUSE-related stuff there. Now I thought it would be fun to create a team around that - work a bit more structured :D
People with the rights to post there now post whatever they like, whenever they like. Not that that is always a bad thing, but having a little more oversight to guarantee quality and timing would be good (eg 3 articles on one day then nothing for 3 days sucks; and sometimes there is some Germanglish in there too).
It ain't hard - if you are currently writing there every now and then you want to be on the team. If you are willing and able to edit posts every now and then - you want to be on the team.
If you want to WRITE for news, you don't HAVE to be on the team - you can just submit stuff and the editors will edit and publish it.
So who's up for this? And I expect AJ and Henne at the very least to volunteer, Sascha, you too :D I'm going for everyone who has contributed a lot of stories to News.o.o to be on the team. Or those who can and want to write... So Helen? You!
Cheers, Jos
Since most people might consider news on news.o.o *official* news from openSUSE project, articles there shouldn't be *personal* views or opinions (I think lizards.o.o is the place for them). So I can agree that every post to news.o.o will be reviewed by editors team before it will be published. For this purpose, editors team should include the persons who are ... a) familiar with what's going on in our project and comminity. b) good at English, so that somehow bad English can be corrected before publishing. I expect many persons can be a), but for b), we need help from native English speakers. Besides, what I have in my mind recently is, creating sub-domains of news.o.o for each language, like ja.news.o.o or news.o.o/de, where we can publish the translations of news on new.o.o. ATM, only few language version of Weekly News are available. But news on news.o.o are usually very important for everyone who uses or is interested in openSUSE, regardless of whether or not (s)he is good at reading English. Wiki is not a good place to publish such kind of translated articles and we need the better place for them. Is it possible to create such sub-domains?
