__NOTOC__ | |||
Bulbanews is a news service that '''you''' can contribute to. The lifecycle of an article is very simple: | |||
= Fields = | {| cellpadding="10" style="background: #f8f8f8; border: 1px solid #999; padding: 0.25em; margin: 0.25em auto; font-size: 200%;" | ||

|} | |||
Unlike most news services, your submissions to Bulbanews are '''immediately visible''' to all and are included in updates to the front page (under the heading ''developing stories'') -- so even if there are no editors [[Bulbanews:Editor availability schedule|on duty]], your contribution will not be missed. | |||
