Sorry to ask, but I really can't find anything on this.

I see a lot of these how-tos around the forum, and should I ever have something to contribute, I would of course love to do one.

However, is there any guidelines, a particular place to post them, etc?

I think I also read somewhere that your howto has to be approved by a mod...

Check out T&T (http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=100).

Also, anything submitted in that forum needs to be approved.

EDIT: Ninja'd. :lolflag:

There's a Sticky (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=677396) atop the Tips and Tutorials (http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=100) forum that might help. I've read elsewhere that current recommendation is to post them on the Ubuntu Wiki instead.

WOW, I must be typing slow today...

I've read elsewhere that current recommendation is to post them on the Ubuntu Wiki instead.

I've read quite a few of the tutorials, and they seem to be quite different from what floats around the Wiki.

The posts in T&T are more like "Hey, look at this cool thing you can do with Ubuntu!", while the Wiki is for people searching for something particular.

I guess if you want to help out the newbies, the Wiki is better (more likely to find with a well placed Google), but for the more advanced user who likes to experiment on at least one of their systems (most of the regular contributors), the Tutorials and Tips is probably a better place to post (we'll see it :)).

+1 to wiki - it's easier to maintain and other users can improve the article.
