This page explains the workflow for submitting news articles to Fedora Insight. It is part of the Fedora Insight Workflow series and is intended for authors and editors.

How to submit an article

A contributor who has an account can submit general news articles for publication with Fedora Insight at any time.

We need to put details about how to make an account, which FAS group to apply to, etc. If you'd like to get started before these instructions are finished, that would actually be very helpful - it encourages us to finish them faster! Email the logistics list with a link to this page and an explanation of what you're trying to do.

We need to add the "create new article" link to the front page of FI for authenticated users, then retake/republish screenshots of this section.

Pick a title and category

You should be looking at the entry screen for a general news submission. The first two entry forms are for "title" and "category."

  1. Write a title for your article. A title for the news item is required.
  2. Select a category. Look at the drop-down list and select an appropriate category for your article. You can choose whichever category you like, as long as you do not use the FWN categories.

Write the text and summary

There is both a summary text area as well as the story text area. Contributors can use the embedded javascript editor to edit the text as appropriate.

Submit the article

Once you are ready, click on the "ready to publish" button to submit the article to the editing process. [BTW: the "publish" button should not be an option for contributors, but it showed up when I was logged in as a regular user].

Wait to hear back from your editor
