You might want to attach the article as an odt / pdf file and send it to the marketing list, so that a brighter audience can proofread your article. Especially to avoid grammar mistakes. would that be possible? :-) happy holidays, --kdl -- Kim Leyendecker, openSUSE Wiki Team GPG Key: 664265369547B825 | leyendecker@opensuse.org http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
