Editorial update: new contributors and Nowpublic.com

CitizenUganda has made some great strides in a few short weeks. Following a successful upgrade to our publishing platform here, it is time to make some changes to how our content is produced and syndicated.

A new contributor

I am happy to announce a new monthly column on Web standards to be written by Silumesii Maboshe. Silumesii is an accomplished programmer and the principal at Pencilcase Studios, and I am honoured that he is willing to share the wisdom of his experience here on CitizenUganda (If you have a suggestion for Silumesii's column, or some questions you would like him to address, or if you are interested in starting your own column here, get in touch).

I am always looking to add to the list of contributors. If you are interested, I am working on a list of contribution guidelines to be released soon.

Syndication

Our stories are now being submitted to NowPublic.com, a participatory news network which mobilizes an army of reporters to cover the events around the world. The company has become one of the fastest growing news organizations with thousands of reporters in over 140 countries, and I feel that this will be a great vehicle for syndicating our content. We are happy to be a part of that.

What started as a blog is growing quickly into something more exciting. Much of what is going on is propelled by your interest. For that, much thanks.
