i don't know exactly what you're trying to find out, but have you checked out this article from the wiki? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchWiki_Tutorial

as a term paper ? or as a "how to" ?

about what and for what audience ?

I want to submit an article about using the clamsmtp virus filtering tool for postfix. I think it should be a new article, and I think it is wort of it, because the only virus filtering tool described in the wiki is amavis and it exists only in italian ( I don't speak italian ). Clamsmtp is smaller, but it's configuration needs a few manipulations.
So i've thought, I could share it with the others.

Yes, a howto... for people who are setting up a smaller ( SOHO ) mail server, and don't want to receive viruses.

So why don't you do it - you can hardly break anything in a Wiki.

This reminds of an anthropology prof back in the 1990s, who tried to explain term papers to freshmen.

"You take a piece of paper. You write something up in the upper left corner. Then you continue, all the way down. After a while, you're finished."

No kidding, I was present that day - and we can all immediately see, why he was professor, right? It is all so structured and clear ...

So why don't you do it?

Take a page you think is well structured, copy it and replace contents.

BTW, always great when people get involved in the wiki
