Anyone can write, although it will be a closed, rather small group
of authors, and the target audience are users (unlike
planet.debian.org)

Basically, yes. There is no payment.

I'd be interested in writing as well, but it'd be good to know what
sort of stuff they're looking for with a bit more detail.

Right now, I only really know two things:

1. it's content geared at users (as in: not just
developers/community members, like our planet is), as linux.com
wants to be a one-stop location for people trying to find out more
about linux.

2. most distros will be present and writing, but there seems to be
an agreement to stay away from inter-distro arguments and instead
unite to promote linux, not the distros per se.

That is all for now,

Are they planning internationalization of this texts?

Great, I'd be interested in your offer, so, what I need to do now to

A group on ideaforge seems to be created, this one[1], I only need to
create an account and to join this group ? Or the procedure is different ?
