I've now updated the http://live.gnome.org/GnomeJournal wiki pages to 
reflect this.  The Article Submission Queue suggests people haven't made 
progress on their articles yet, and we're ten days from the due date; is 
that so?

Who's the release coordinator/editor for Issue 17?  I can have him or her a 
draft of my article by Sunday the 25th.

Paul, I've organized http://live.gnome.org/GnomeJournal/ArticleWishlist a 
little, so that might help you out.  Especially check out the "Development 
& Functionality" and "End User Value, Deployments" categories.

Of the abandoned articles listed on the Submission Queue page, I'm 
especially interested in the first three: a GNOME Shell design goals piece, 
a Seed overview, and a Telepathy Tubes piece.  If you could convince 
Danielle Madeley to write up "Dr Gnomelove: or how I learnt to stop hating 
Autotools and love the Build" I'm sure it would be useful as well.

If you are still keen on having it be a multimedia issue, you might 
consider a Brasero review/compare-and-contrast with its competitors, or 
talking about the spread of GStreamer on mobile devices.
