-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 +
-  * 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...)+
  
-(is that ok as a start?+(see also [[publication_formatting]])
  
 +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.
 +
 +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'
 +
 +== Deadline for submissions by participants of Luminous Green 2008: 1 October 2008. ==
 +
 +Tentative publishing date: early 2009.
 +
 +==== Guidelines for Contributors ====
 +
 +If you would like to contribute to the Luminous Green Publication, below is a list of recommendations for authors and artists. 
 +
 +=== Text ===
 +
 +  * Short contributions: Up to 1500 words, with or without images. 
 +
 +  * Long contributions: Up to 4000 words, with or without images.
 +
 +We encourage the participants to send short contributions, unless they have a topic that requires longer reflection and elaboration. 
 +
 +== Formatting ==
 +
 +Please submit plain text, .doc. .odt, or .rtf files without images embedded. If the images should be placed in the text, please make a note in the text like this: [insert image smith1.jpg here]. For submission of images, follow the guidelines for images below.
 +
 +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:
 +
 +Egbert, Adalbert King of Gothmord. 1344. //Practical Guide to Witch Hunting.// Oxford University Press.
 +
 +== Possible types of textual contributions ==
 +
 +The Luminous Green publication encourages a variety of contributions. These can include, but are not limited to:
 +
 +  * Theoretical articles (not necessarily following strict academic standards)
 +  * Travelogues
 +  * Manuals (how to...)
 +  * Artistic documentation
 +  * Interviews
 +  * Short statements
 +  * Manifestos
 +  * Poems
 +  * Stories
 +  * Commented code
 +  * Recipes
 +  * ...
 +
 +== 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 can 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: to be avoided, but if deemed necessary, it should be well-written and relevant to a wider audience.
 +
 +
 +=== Images ===
 +
 +Images can be submitted as:
 +
 +  * //Individual Photographs and Illustrations//: Colour or B/W, high resolution (preferably 300dpi, if not available, then as large as you can get them), in any digital format (such as .jpg, .tiff, .eps, .psd, .xcf, .pdf), with captions.
 +
 +  * //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, contact us if you want to include more than 5 images). For each image follow instructions for individual photographs.
 +
 +Naming convention: use your last name and a number, such as "smith1.tiff, smith2.tiff, etc."
