Hi!
I'm a CS teaching assistant from University of Tartu, Estonia. I recently submitted my dearest project Thonny (Python IDE for beginners, http://thonny.org) into Fedora repository. Miro Hrončok, who helped me with this, suggested me to write an introduction to Thonny for Fedora Magazine. So here I am, eager to write a pitch and receive your input :)
best regards, Aivar

Hi Aivar, welcome to the list!
An article on Thonny looks like a great idea. I recommend writing a short outline of what you want to cover and sharing that with the editors. Some advice is on this page.
https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-a-new-pitch/
Looking forward to seeing this!
*https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=19717 *
*Summary*: Describe how Thonny helps beginners understand some difficult concepts in programming
*Description*: Thonny http://thonny.org is a Python IDE meant for learning and teaching programming. It has strong support for visualizing program run-time behavior. It is available in Fedora 27 repository.
The article would be written mostly for beginning programmers and their teachers. It would have following parts:
* How to install Thonny and how to write and run a simple program in it * How to explore the structure and meaning of the program by stepping through it o Thonny allows stepping through logical program elements (statements, expressions, subexpressions) instead of just program lines o When following function calls, it maintains an explicit visual representation of the call stack (instead of showing just a jump in the code) * How Thonny can explain the interaction between references and mutable data types * Smaller features o Built-in pip GUI o Ability to open a terminal prepared for using current Python interpreter * Overview of Thonny project o Who develops it o How has it been used so far o Call for feedback and contributions
best regards, Aivar

We approved this pitch in Wednesday's meeting.
The editors recommended you cut out the last two sections here (small features, overview of project) to keep the article focused.
You can start drafting anytime!

Aivar, do you intend to finish this article? It's missing some screenshots and code snippets still. We'd like to publish this but we can't until we have a complete draft.
Hi!
Sorry for the delay. The current version is just my initial braindump and I'll try to complete it soon.
Can you already say something about it? Is there something big I should change? Is the length acceptable?
best regards, Aivar

The main things missing are the bits I noted below. Everything else seems fine to me.
