Can I publish a blog post here?

Ok, sorry, it's a lie: we wished this were a frequently asked question but in fact it unfortunately is not.

Just in case this is exactly the question you were about to ask: Welcome!

Articles about any free and open source CMS, about common general topics (e. g. project management, accessibility, contributions), about related technologies (like Composer, ReactJS), case studies about certain projects ... let us know if you are not sure.

But if you are, go for it! As a registered and logged in user, go to your dashboard and you will find a button "Write an article". This will be added as a draft. You can always save and come back later to finish it.

Once happy with your article, make sure to change the dropdown if it still shows "Draft" in the highlighted box on the preview page.

After contributing several articles without major complaints you are eligible of receiving permissions to directly publish further content. If that's still not the case, please contact the editorial team.

Bilingual, please

We are aiming at publishing in English along with a German translation (or vice versa). Please consider adding a translation after your article has been approved. There are great tools out there offering assistance (and might already be represented by a profile here). But please make sure that you read through an algorithm-based translation before you submit it.
