Re: Gnome Journal Article and General Beagle Publicity

[Ken VanDine <ken vandine org>]

I think this is a good idea.  It has been a while since I made time to
write an article for GJ.  I would be willing to work on this if someone
can help come up with all the points we want covered.

We could even use this as a means to let distros know beagle is ready to
be included and why they should want to include it.  I personally think
there are some really good reasons, considering I have been shipping
beagle in Foresight for well over a year now.  The great news is for
quite a while now there haven't been any users asking "What is this
beagled thing and why does it use all my memory?".
