"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.

Yeah, that's a Tesla story. It is NOT a news item.
The best way for you to tell us what you want to see is to submit a story yourself! 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.
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.
