James, since you will be posting to the Fridge often, you are going to
be the guinea pig for some Fridge changes. Go ahead and join
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-fridge. Once one of the administrators
approves you, you will have the ability to log into the Fridge (there is
a login button on the front page).

After logging in, go to Contribute -> Story. Fill out the page with the
interview, preview, and submit.

Let us know when thats done. One of the admins can then post it to the
front page.

Re: wiki.ubuntu.com license

Nick,
    See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ for the licensing information on the documentation team.  UWN has no CC tag at the bottom of the page.  Other than that, I have no idea what the "policy" is on the wiki pages.  BTW, I'm of the opinion, and have been ever since I became a webmaster for a company, that if it's on the web, it's gone.  You no longer have control over it.  I did it on my blog.  and there are various ways to do it.  For example, mine includes "No Commercial" in it, as well as ability to modify and share alike.  That doesn't mean that commercial outfits can't quote it.  What it means is that they can't use it as a way of making money.

Yes, exactly. The ubuntuusers.de, where we will work and publish the new
UWN-de, normally uses BY-NC-SA
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/de/deed.en), but we
should be sure that it's allowed to use it. Since we will take content
from the UWN and translate it, it is "derived works".

> yes, we have never discussed it but a CC by SA sounds good.
Yes, I'd like to see a CC license used for the UWN.

That's great thanks.

I'd like to add the following before it.

"This is the first in a series of interviews with Ubuntu developers
about their work, and features that will be available in future
versions."

I have put two screenshots we would like included at

That suits me fine.

Do you need any help preparing this article for publication?
