Editing and Creating Images

fedora magazine workflow 5

Before an article can be published, it needs to be edited, and it needs a cover image.

Members of the Editorial Board provide both of those.

Editing

Articles that require editing are in the #fm-ready-for-editing column in the Fedora Magazine kanban board.

Since multiple people will be potentially completing this step, they need to coordinate with comments on the Discussion topic.

The editors will Edit the article for potential grammatical and spelling errors and formatting, if necessary. When done, they indicate that in the comments and indicate who the editor was.

If the cover image has also been done that will be indicated in the comments by indicating the image editor

Creating a cover image

Articles that require a cover image are in the #fm-ready-for-editing column in the Fedora Magazine kanban board.

Since multiple people will potentially be completing this step, they need to coordinate with comments on the Discussion topic.

To Create a cover image for the article, see the Creating a featured image page for instructions. This function is usually done by an editor but the author may take on this task if they have a specific idea. Please carefully read over Creating a featured image for restrictions on form and source for any image used.

When the image is done this will be indicated in the comments by the editor.

Scheduling

When editing is completed and an appropriate image is included, an editor will schedule the article for publication on the indicated date and time.

A few days after publication, the Discussion topic will be moved to the #fm_published column in the kanban board
