Hi alex!

We have discussed this in the past, but not much really came of it TBH, 
so thanks for bringing this up again! It is defninely something that I 
would love to see happen

Everything is stored in Wordpress -- the "source" of the posts could be 
classed as a HTML snippet however, which may be able to be placed into 
Zanata. There are also a bunch of different plugins for wordpress that 
could be investigated to see if we could use those to distribute 
localized content (this is where previous discussions focused on IIRC)

SOme posts are published straight away, especially the news-style posts 
that link to other content. The longer form articles like how-tos and 
release announcements usually are ready and waiting for publishing a few 
days in advance. There is really no offciial "QA" of posts really yet 
however.

If you log in to the magazine with your FAS account using this procedure 
-- http://fedoramagazine.org/logging-into-fedora-magazine-with-fas/ and 
ping this thread once you have done that, an editor can grant your FAS 
account author status, and you should be able to pull the source for 
each post.

The other piece of the puzzle is the localization of the actual theme, 
and the source for the theme is available here -- 
https://pagure.io/fedoramagazine-theme -- i'll need to do some 
investigation on both fronts to see how all this works with wordpress.

cheers,
