Fellow Orbinauts,

Welcome to the new Orbiter Magazine Thread. Columbia42 has given me permission to take over this project. The goal of this thread is for the development of the magazine.

I am calling out for writers for the magazine. We already have two people, (not including myself) to write for us. We need two other writers and an editor. Please PM me if you are interested in writing, or can be an editor for the Orbiter Magazine.

Current Staff:

If you wish to become a Writer or editor, you must meet the following requirements:

You must be able to devote time to the project,
You must be able to speak English.

Dude, that's what the editors are for. We will make sure the grammar is good. But you'll have to PM before I can accept you as a writer.

I may be interested in writing/editing. Just what do you want us to write? Stories? Tutorials? Reviews?

I'm thinking to take the french version of the project (Orbiter Mag) because I speak english too bad for writing articles. But we can cross some articles or (more lazy solution for me) translate the English Orbiter Magazine.
I think translating is better, because we don't have differents articles in diferrents languages. Transmating can "helps" someone.

That would be great. I'll keep in touch.
