[gnome-summary] GNOME Journal Project Plan

[Jim Hodapp <jhodapp iupui edu>]

Hello everyone,

    I've been putting together a more formal project plan for the new
GNOME Journal project.  Please take a look at it available in rtf format
at http://www.gnomejournal.org/docs/project_plan.rtf

    Please let me know if you have suggestions.  If you would like to be
able to update it yourself but you are unable to currently because you
don't have a login to the gnomejournal.org server, please let me know. 
I can have you added.

    Please concentrate on the section at the bottom about the tentative
article category hierarchy.  I need suggestions for this.  This should
get as specific in the hierarchy as suggestions for certain article
category titles.  What I mean by that is for example, Linux Journal
magazine has the Kernel Corner.  Right now the categories are very
broad.  As soon as we get this hierarchy somewhat finalized for a first
issue, we can start to build up the website navigation and layout.

    You'll notice that the current www.gnomejournal.org website is
password protected.  If you would like to contribute to the project,
please email me a username, password, and email address so that I can
add you to the login.  We are trying to keep it a secret during the
first issue development phase.

    The project also will need many article writers.  If you would like
to write, even if you don't consider yourself a very good writer, please
let me know.  We'll take anybody who is passionate about an area in
GNOME.  Even if you want to try out writing one or two articles for an
issue or two, that is ok too.  You are not committing your life away to
the project just by writing and article.  Of course we'd appreciate any
an all regular column writers.  So if you have a topic in mind that
you're dying to write about, here's your chance!  Don't miss it!

I'm looking forward to an active discussion about this.  Reply back to
the list on your messages unless you're emailing me a username, password
and email address for the website.
