-something which is probably not visible from the few articles yet: +===== Luminous Green Publication ===== 
-  * it should appeal to diverse audiences, should not have much 'jargon' (maggie's article is full of it!) + 
-  * it should reflect a 'luminous green' spirit and have a relatively lasting value as a record of current thinking and making +The Luminous green publication aims to become a resource for people who would like to work and live in a 'luminous green way': imaginative, electrified and illuminated. As such, it should go beyond being a catalogue of individual projects, but provide a glimpse of worlds in which we'd like to live and that we'd like to help create. This publication should reflect a 'luminous green' spirit and have a relatively lasting value as a record of current thinking, growing and making in the context of creativity & sustainability. As we want to publication to appeal to diverse audiences, it should avoid jargon wherever possible. 
-  * it should go beyond documentation of individual projects and become a resource for people who would like to work and live in a 'luminous green way' (or something like that...)+ 
 +The publication will have an online and a hard copy component. The contributions for the online publication can be more informal and blog-like. The hard copy publication will have a more rigorous selection of contributions and a stronger editorial 'stamp'.

 +==== Editorial Guidelines ==== 
 +

 + 
 +Please clean your text up as much as possible (beware of white spaces, indentations, .... , etc.). Optionally, you can provide basic style indications (headings, subheadings, body text). 
 + 
 +== References and in text citations == 
 + 
 +Please use the following style when using references in your submissions: 
 + 
 +//---> I now think a numerical citation system would be best for this kind of publication. I'm looking into good options. - alkan// 
 + 
 +Egbert, Adalbert King of Gothmord. 1344. //Practical Guide to Witch Hunting.// Oxford University Press. 
 + 
 +== Possible types of textual contributions ==

 +== The Voices of the Luminous Green Publication == 
 + 
 +  * For longer texts: 'serious' magazine style, with a touch of academic rigour (only where appropriate). 
 + 
 +  * For short contributions: where images are a dominant medium, we allow more 'frivolity', i.e. the contributions could bring a more 'airy' or poetic atmosphere to the publication.  
 + 
 +  * Policy regarding "Personal Journey/Insight/Revelation about Myself" genre in articles: it better be well-written

 +  * //Photo Essays//: Up to 10 images, high resolution, numbered colour or B/W, with captions,  
 +  * //Single or series of images as a part of a textual contribution//: Up to 5 images (unless otherwise agreed). For each image follow instructions for individual photographs.

 +Naming convention: use your last name and a number, such as "smith1.tiff, smith2.tiff, etc."
