Getting a magazine up and running can be real rough. It seems as if Jordan hasn't exactly had a cakewalk with the newsletter either. A safer approach, imho, might be to try something on the web - less capital risk, and we could see how things work out first before trying to jump into pulp, and attract interested contributors. Getting people to volunteer to write articles, even if you have an editor in place, can be real PITA. -- // dannyman yori aiokomete || Our Honored Symbol deserves \\/ http://www.dannyland.org/~dannyman/ || an Honorable Retirement (UIUC) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
