Ubuntu Wiki

Summaries for the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter are typically 1-4 sentences each, exceptions being major news in the General Community News section.

In writing your summaries, please remember follow these content guidelines:

• Make your summaries present tense
  • Good: The author states
  • Bad: The author stated
• Do not use complicated formatting
  • We release in very simple wiki-based syntax and export to several formats, including text only, so please avoid:
  • Hyperlinks in summaries
  • Full justification of text
  • Bold, italics, strikethrough
• Do not editorialize
  • Good:
    • John Smith of News Site proclaims "the new release of Ubuntu is great!"
    • This article explains...
  • Bad:
    • The new release of Ubuntu is great!

    • This great article explains...

• Do not add facts that are not part of the article
  • You may know that Mark Shuttleworth founded Ubuntu, but if it's not mentioned in the article, don't mention it
