'Did you know ...?' category - call for submissions

[nant]

One of the categories in the upcoming Joomla! Community Magazine is titled "Did you know ...?" and the editors (Nick Antimisiaris, Airton Torres) have prepared a concept document describing the goals of this category and its articles.

I have attached this concept guide for your reference, but the overall concept is to allow any Joomla community member (developer, user, administrator, etc.) to author an article that describes how he/she used well known or not so well known Joomla and/or extension functionality to support his/her specific use case. The success goal bar is to inspire readers in such a way as to make them think about applying similar concepts to their use cases.

So, in fact an article comment like "Wow, I didn't know that ..." or "Hey, I never thought of using this for ..." would indicate a successful 'Did you know ...?' article.

If you are interested and have an idea for an article feel free to submit it or contact me or Airton if you need assistance.

Lets make this section of our magazine a huge success!

Can you please explain the type of articles you need? Can it be technical or must i be simple for and users?

The idea for an article is to create an article about Joomla 1.6 and creating a component that is using the ACL combination of the new structure of the component in Joomla 1.6.

1. Intro into the basics of Joomla 1.6 component building
2. Into into the Joomla 1.6 ACL
3. Introducing ACL into the component.

Hi there again!

Thanks for responding to this call for action.

You can review the content guidelines document post in this thread: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=573&t=479952

I am sure that a good article about all the Joomla 1.6 topics you mentioned will be easy to categorize in one of the content areas - even a featured article if good enough.
