Regarding the Submit News form:
The 'Article Text' section is perhaps a little misleadingly titled. It means YOUR article text. In the case of submitting an link to an article, this will probably be a brief synopsis of the article. If your writing is well-written enough, the MozillaZine admins may use your text directly on the front page (crediting you, of course) or they may do their own write-up (in which case you will still get credited for sending the link).
Often, people write longer articles for MozillaZine, in which case the title 'Article Text' is more appropriate.
As a side-note, MozillaZine's main news editor (Alex) is away right now, so there's a lot less action on the front page than usual.
