Thanks! I found the author's blurb at the bottom of the article. For
some reason I expected that the name/author bio/avatar would show up
next to the top of the article. I did notice a lot of writers did have
a ton of articles under their belt, I guess I'm just used to magazines
and journals that list authors directly under story title.

If I had to guess I would say that somebody was thinking it would be
good to see the contribute section when you first land on the page, but
also when you scroll down, unfortunately, not all the way to the
bottom. Please dont implement one of those scrolling sidebars!

They most certainly are. If there's anything the marketing list needs
are comments. I looked at the archives before joining and the group
looks dead since about May. I was reluctant to join the list because I
was afraid it was a defunct group. But, I figured its one of those
lulls that happen in nonprofits/open source.
One additional feature I saw on Fedora magazine that I think would be
useful on other pages is the social media bar at the top right. How
useful would this be for gaining followers/subscribers if this were to
be added to:
* the Fedora Project Wiki
* discussion.fedoraproject.org
* ask.fedoraproject.org

<div>IMHO, a link to contact the author could lead to
unwanted emails, since the magazine often have one-time
contributors/writers, that could lead to reduce the
interest of writing articles. Also the author's name and
mini bio is shown in each article, the info put in the
bio is choosen by each author. Having the author's name
in the front page
could lead to a reduce traffic in articles (people can
develop the habit of read only certain author's
articles). <br>

<div>I'm pretty sure that in the whole project we have a
