heise Developer: pitch a specialist article

[ChrisonSimtian]

Problem

heise Developer runs a documented programme for outside technical articles. It is the best-fitting outlet for Fallout: a paid specialist article rather than a product announcement.

Outcome

A topic proposal is sent, and either a commissioned article or a clear no.
