The staff at Attrition would love to write out new files for each
of the topics and more. However, this isn't very effecient and
slows down the flow of information to interested parties.

We are now soliciting pieces from anyone interested in helping 
out the newbie track. Below are some of the topics we would like
to cover. If you are interested in writing on one of these, 
please mail jericho to coordinate the writing. These topics
will be dished out on a first come first serve basis. Multiple
parties interested will be put in touch with each other in case
you are interested in collaborating.

All submissions will be reviewed and edited by the staff here.
Submissions should be signed by you (however you wish to sign). 
We prefer you leave an email address to answer any questions about
the article (or we can field them for you).

Check back frequently for status of each topic!
