[Magazine] Rules

[Eduard Lucena]

Hi team,

With the article about Plex Media Server/Plex Media Client came an
interesting topic about what can be or can't be in an article. So i was
researching a little bit about it and found some guidelines:

http://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine/Howtopost

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Magazine

But in any of them is commented about the content of the articles, they all
talk about how to use the wordpress, some thing about structure, topics,
the featured image. In the other thread was commented this by stickster:

(1) If you want to explain how to get or use software that's FOSS and
is legal for anyone to get or use, that's fine.  (Examples include
Pagure, or, as far as I can tell, netdata.)

(2) If you want to explain how to get or use software that's not FOSS
but is legal for anyone to get or use, that's fine.  (Examples include
Steam or Google Chrome.)

Everything else, it's a good idea to check before pitching.  We're
here to help! :-)

So I want to start a discussion to clarify and probably to insert in the
guidelines (wiki or the magazine itself) this important point to make it
better for us, the new contributors.

Br,

Hi Eduard,

I also think it would be a good idea to put this information somewhere 
where it can be easily referenced in the future for new writers as well. 
I don't know how extensively we really use the wiki any more (since I 
started contributing, I seldom see it mentioned or used for the 
Magazine). The first link you shared about writing a new post for the 
Magazine might be the best place to put this for now.

I'm personally +1 for seeing a brief explanation about writing topics 
added to the Magazine "how to write" page!

Agree. This should be there. Otherwise, will have to explain and discuss
all over again every time someone writes a pitch of a "non good topic"
 article.

Cheers,
Sylvia
