Hey there,

I'm writing a how-to article for a popular DIY magazine on setting up an online photo gallery using this incrediblly cool software that you all have done such a great job on. I think the article will be a good thing for the project.

I'm hoping to get in touch with someone that can, A: give me their blessing to write the article, B: give suggestions of relative support content to check out that I may have missed, and C: look over my writing before and correct any misinformation within it.
Alternatively, if someone officially representing the project feels they would be a better person to write the article, or that similar step-by-step content currently exists, I wouldn't love to incorporate the content or collaborate on the article.

I'm feeling geeky for asking, but does the project have a PR / media contact that anyone is aware of?

thanks,

Steveo|at|steveo.net
