[edit] Article Content
As rule of thumb all articles should be easy to read especially for users/developers new to KDE. As such, every article should roughly cover the following parts
- Introduction
- Quick overview of what this is about (easy understandable!)
- Highlights, interaction with other components, ...
- Why is this cool, i.e. worth to be listed in the KDE4 architecture page (easy to read, not too much internals)
- Further Resources
- Link to development tutorials (for developers) and similar resources (related content)
Articles should should not span much more than 3 scrolled pages in a normal sized browser. It's all about giving an overview + links to further reading for interested visitors.
