Article of the Month

In the years that Circpros has been operating, many of our members have suggested a more formal structure for articles than the forums allow. To that end, I'd like to formally announce the "Article of the Month" initiative. Our first monthly missive will appear in this position once it is complete.

If you'd be interested in contributing an article, please contact Micah.
