PHP-Nuke 6 was presented as a "Master Class" tutorial in the July edition of a top South African magazine called ".net" (not related and pre-dates M$'s .net).

This Master Class tutorial guided its readers through the whole setup of PHP-Nuke with screenshots along the way, and quick hints for getting more from your installation. I am sure it would be possible to arrange a Master Class for Drupal as well, as they are open to suggestions of what to present in these Master Class tutorials.

It doesn't look like this tutorial is posted on their website (www.netmag.co.za) so it's hard to explain to you exactly what the structure of the tutorial is like, except that there are 36 screenshots during various stages, with about a 50 word caption below each image. There is also a 400 word intro boasting PHP-Nuke, its ease of use and its active community, as well as 3 "top tips" to give you hints about improving the default installation.

I am sure Drupal could benefit from such a tutorial and promotion, as .net mag has a huge reader base in South Africa.

I have attempted to make contact with the editor of the magazine, but haven't got reaction yet. Once I receive reply that they're willing to post an article about Drupal (or a MasterClass) I will post a comment on here again, requesting information.

If it's an article, I'd need different inputs than I would need for a MasterClass, depending on what they will allow.
