Fellow editors:
I have massaged the "Build your own cloud with Fedora 31 and Nextcloud Server" article into what I think is a presentable form for the magazine and the original author has given it his blessing. What buttons do I need to press next?
Also, I would like to make a few minor edits to my already-published article "Learning about Partitions and How to Create Them for Fedora". I would like to correct a file system path and I would like to delete a paragraph about file system corruption from the section about the var partition. Is that OK? Are there any tricks to editing an article that has already gone live?
Thanks.
If you've edited an article, but it still needs an image, you can do the following: 1. Make sure it's at least in Pending Review status on the WordPress site. 2. Move the card for the article to Queued, and if not done already, you can add the needs-image tag.
If it does have an image already, you can schedule it: 1. Make sure you've included a good SEO keyword (article should show up at least amber, preferably green). 2. Fill out the extract/summary that's used on search engines along with the URL. The summary should be in the form of a call to action, such as "Learn how to..." or "Read this introduction to..." 3. Set the category (usually is not the default "Fedora Project community) and also add tags that help with classification and taxxonomy. 4. Set the publication date for 08:00 on the appropriate date, if already decided, and then hit Schedule.
As for your question about editing... The general approach for an online publication is that it's OK to make minor edits for typographical errors. If someone called attention to it in a comment, take a moment to thank them and indicate that you fixed the article.
Deleting sections is less desirable. It's not like we're the New York Times, but we also have a responsibility to stand by what's published (which is why authors/editors work together to make sure the article is as accurate as possible). I assume you're referring to this comment: https://fedoramagazine.org/learning-about-partitions-and-how-to-create-them-...
The best way to deal with this comment IMHO is just to politely respond. Your explanation's logical -- whether or not fs corruption was rampant in ext/ext2 (keeping in mind that extfs size limits made partitioning sometimes less feasible), your point that separating out partitions to avoid affecting other parts of the tree seems perfectly valid to me.
In general, I don't think we should remove things once published (except in a case like a bad/duplicate paste), and in those cases, provide an "EDIT:" note in the article to show what's changed. Just my $0.02.

Hi Paul: Thanks, I took you advice for my own article and just responded to the critique with a more detailed explanation of what I was trying to say. A similar situation has just arisen with another article -- Story Teller's article is being criticized for suggesting that selinux be disabled and he has requested that the document be revised (last comment on kanban's #101: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/us/101). Should I revise the article or should Story Teller just reply to the comments? Also, I haven't been approving the comments. Is that something that you want me to do? Thanks.

One of the things that distinguishes RHEL and Fedora from other distributions is having SELinux installed and enabled by default. It definitely should never be disabled. It's a huge security risk to do so.

Agreed, SELinux disablement may be a sign that a process needs more work before publication. My opinion: this should be fixed and marked with an UPDATED marker in the article.

I just tried to make the revisions. However, when I clicked save, it unpublished and I cannot seem to get it re-published. I think I may not have sufficient permissions to re-publish the article. I'm tried to ping someone on the IRC channel as well.
