What if you start from setting up a wiki page to collect group-input to such article?

Since everybody is busy and this may be a chance for greater coverage
(I imagine those doing FBSD ports sould be interested... but I'm not one of them)
maybe let everybody leave some input (and get credited if/when this gets published)

But since you started this, you're exactly the person who should do the above,
because you cared enough to start this; Start from setting clear licensing to whatever
will get written on that page (GFDL? CC-BY-? whatever the magazine wants? Maybe usual 
wiki c/l/r conditions should be enough?) and maybe outline how you imagine this article.

Otherwise it's a case of 'lets-go-and-you-all-do-it' and result will be -ENOPATCH...
which would be a great shame.

Needless to say, it probably won't be in a weeks-time either... 
... nor would it end on one version/revision ;)
