"I don't seem to be able to use the 'Submit Story' feature at the moment... I just thought I'd flag a little saga currently unfolding near where I live. An open cut coal mine that supplies coal to a nearby 1600MW power station in Victoria, Australia, has been on fire for over a week. This could threaten electricity generation in the area and might have been deliberately set.
What might be more interesting is the lack of news media attention to it."
[Ed. Note] we're working on fixing article submission, thanks for getting this to us via alternate means.

kwerle, since this article was posted, we've released articles on auperconductivity research, Google buying (yet) another tech company, a Tesla story (or not, but gotta love those flamewars!), discussion on DRM within HTML5, Java 8 release candidate, and DNS snooping. If we are not meeting your needs here, please let us know what articles you ARE looking for. Unfortunately I am not a mind reader, nor are the other editors.
The best way for you to tell us what you want to see is to submit a story yourself! [soylentnews.org] I really have the same goal in mind as you, and I hope that as a site we will be able to articulate the vision we have and meet the needs that you want.
Thanks for reading!

Yeah, that's a Tesla story. It is NOT a news item.

Again: I'm telling you what I do NOT want to see because that's more important to me than what I do want to see. The tech news you mentioned is all great stuff (again, the Tesla story is not news). That's never been the problem with /. The problem has ever been the signal to noise ratio because the editors failed to reject trash stories.
