4) Deadline: Monday (?)
========================================================================
Hey all,
I drafted up the proposed "outline" of how a Fedora contributor can get started with writing their own article for the Community Blog. Once we get general approval on the process, I think this belongs on the header bar to help gain a larger amount of views for people wanting to contribute. It's definitely info that should be out in the open!

Some of the things that do need to be discussed:
1) Basic requirements: Did we agree on these?
I thought I recalled us agreeing on a few basic requirements for articles either in IRC or previous mailings, but I wanted to be clear. I defined the basic requirements needed to publish as: (1) properly categorized, (2) properly tagged, and (3) must have one image. I feel like these are fairly basic requirements, but I wanted to confirm this before slating it out as "fully official".
2) Minimum requirement to publish
This was something Remy and I (briefly) discussed on IRC and wanted to poll the list about. Before a contributor should be able to publish their article, we thought that a minimum requirement of three "+1's" would be a good bar to set (similar to the Bodhi karma voting process). Depending on the activity level of the list, I think this is a good amount and if an article is ever "urgency of the moment", a regular contributor should have the authority to okay publishing without waiting for a 100% vote.
Curious to know what the rest of your thoughts are on this! I definitely think we should try to get this page live by Sunday or Monday, so next week's visitors will have a definitive way to help get involved. ;)
