[drupal-docs] Linux User and Developer Magazine Article

[Robin Monks]

Sorry for not being here over the weekend.

I agree with Roberts approach of having a "pool" of writers. I know there a
many good and extremely talented writers in the community and that together
we could write an encyclopedia of Drupal :-)

I'm going to email the head editor and see how much of the spotlight we can
have. I'd be interested in knowing everyone's opinion on the focus of this
article. Drupal has such a wide feature set, such a powerful API and such a
large community that we will need to focus the article down to just a
sampling of Drupal's full power and potential (but still give people an idea
of the full picture).

Also, we'll need to decide if this will focus on the aging Drupal 4.6 or on
what will soon be Drupal 4.7, and we'll need appropriate screen shots to go
with it.
