[drupal-docs] Linux User and Developer Magazine Article

Given the word count, it might be possible to do a half dozen sites or 
more, but with more attention given to 2 or 3, and less given to the 
others. In other words, 2 or 3 of the sites may provide enough of a 
"picture" of what Drupal can do in detail, then the others will fill in 
the gaps by describing where they are different than those previously 
covered.

So, for the sake of example, they might be grouped by type. Sites that 
share audio/video. Sites that are civic action in orientation. Sites 
that are for publishing (less discussion, i.e., The Onion or Linux 
Journal). Then for each type, 1 main case study, with some other sites 
mentioned/described briefly to show alternatives.

So I'd probably pick two or three main sites that are somehow different 
in type, then go from there.

As far as the Going Further section, seems like a very effective 
conclusion to the piece to point people to resources on customization 
and support and drupaldocs.org.

BTW: I think that Kernel Trap is certainly a must, given it's longevity 
with Drupal and the fact that this is a Linux mag the article is for :)
