@AugustBemsen Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your outline. We appreciate your interest in contributing to our community.

However, at this time we are hoping to focus on more advanced topics that haven't been covered as much on our site.

Specifically, we're looking for articles that delve into Strapi backend customizations and extensions, as we already have a lot of great content available on the basics of Strapi.

We encourage you to check out issue https://github.com/strapi/community-content/issues/1155 for some topic ideas that we think would be a great fit for our current needs. And please don't hesitate to submit future ideas as well. Thank you again for your time and effort!
