Zend Developer Zone is Open for Contributions
h1. The Zend Developer Zone content process
p. Our process is simple:
# Submit an article, news item, event notice, sample, tutorial, or something important to say
# An editor will review the submission and edit where necessary
# You may edit your unpublished articles from the “member account”:/member/account page
# The item will be placed online
p. You retain your copyright to the content, but also grant the full use of that content to this site; including rights to edit, splice, showcase, or otherwise use the content in this site and in XML feeds typically consumed and shown by others.
p. Our editors may make changes deemed necessary although they will always attempt to stay true to your original intent and wording. They are there for formatting, accuracy, and keeping things productive. Not all content will make the front page. Our editors decide what makes the front page, versus what is accessible from search, tags and other forms of navigation.
h1. What content are we seeking?
p. Our focus is on supporting professional PHP developers. Content should be appropriate for that audience and provide context as well as subject matter to raise the knowledge and best practices for the PHP developer community. Include the *Why* as well as the *What* and *How*. A reader is best served by the complete picture.
h1. Supported markup
p. We currently support
# Simple Text (no markup)
# Textile Markup
# HTML WYSIWYG
# HTML Source
p. Documentation for Textile is linked from the content submission form. If you find your Textile markup is not working, try adding white space (another carriage return) in between your header and paragraph elements. Also, it is important that some elements start at the left and are not indented (header tags, lists, paragraphs, etc.).
p. The submission process includes previewing of your work to provide a chance to see both the summary and full view before making the final submission. Validation errors are reported during this time so that all documents are well formed and safely work within the site.
h1. About images
p. Images should be linked from a source such as “Flickr”:http://www.flickr.com. In fact, we plan to integrate Flickr image browsing using the Zend Framework in the upcoming weeks.

Cal Evans has integrated TinyMCE into the Zend Developer Zone so we now have WYSIWYG editing for documents! That is in addition to Textile and source HTML.

Hi,
I have posted a news a week ago and it still is on my profile page (when I am logged on) and says it is unpublished. Though I have checked the article and it has the Ready for Publishing check box ticked. My login is ostapk

Hi,
of course every webmaster likes to get fresh and unique content, but I need to ask if it’s OK to post articles / tutorials I have published before on my own website. (I remember that I read some articles from Manual Lemos on some other place before)

I just added a comment and had a very persistent HTML-validation error on http://devzone.zend.com/article/2585-install-syck-by-way-of-pecl-on-Zend-Server—OSX#comments-4493
After I’d gone through several minutes of trial-and-error –wrapping all my paragraphs in <p>-tags, etcetera– this only turned out to be a ‘á’ that should have been served by me as aacute HTML-entity (…now laugh…).
Are we living in the Stone Age here, or is there something wrong with UTF-8 that I missed?
Anyway; I’d like to strip the ugly HTML-tags from my comment: Is that possible?
Apart from that: Do HTML-tags actually work in Comments, or is that a Contribution-only feature?
