    Writers Wanted

    Writers can pretty much mean anything: We're going to be looking for match reports and the like obviously, but the main thing we're interested in is features on clubs, Irish soccer in general, history, the business angle, that kind of thing. You don't have to be a whiz-kid writer, because we'll be editing them anyway, and everything will be read and considered.

    All published articles will be credited to the writer, and copyright will remain with them; although we will encourage writers to make their articles available under the Open Content Licence (OPL), so they can be published elsewhere (still retaining the credit and copyright of course).

    Topical and funny articles will win hands-down every time. At the moment we're just looking for people to commit, but now would also be an ideal time to start writing topical stuff, in preparation for the launch of a /features section in a couple of weeks(?).

    Post here or email the usual addresss please.

    I don't want anything "exactly" Éanna, just articles and features. About a club, a player, the league, history, whatever. It doesn't have to be funny either, topical or just plain interesting is fine.

    An articles section is third-next on my list, but that shouldn't take as long as it sounds - I'm working on the news aggregation tools at the moment, and as soon as I have that done the skeleton will be there for other features. So I should have the content section online by next week.

    Talking

    Ok. I'll start thinking about it, and I'll sort something out when we get back from liepaja- if we get there!
    How bout some kind of diary on the latvian trip?! We could collaborate - i.e. someone else can take my article and make it vaguely humourous
