For reference, I checked through past issues, and it seems that there isn't anything like this so far, surprisingly. Anyway, solid idea, so it's fine by me. Quick question though, do you have an outline of what this article would cover?

Steps:

• Pinpointing a room
  • Talk about interests of the person, where to go, etc
• Getting accustomed to the atmosphere
  • Lurking a bit
  • Taking autoconfirmed hints (don't dive right in)
  • Not sucking up to mods (has to be mentioned)
• Making friends in the room
  • Just talk, really!
  • Getting to know the people of the room
  • Not casual discussion usually; using the PM system
• Becoming a contributor the room
  • Can lead to promotions in the room
  • Getting known
  • What you can do to help the room
    • roomintro art maybe?
    • being an overall solid contributor
    • sparking positive discussion

Seems like you already know what you're doing with this. Alright, sure, start writing this. I'm curious to see what kind of material you'll cover in its entirety.
