Just thought I'd see what is happening with the mag have you got some
team members together yet?

I've also started a new blog about Desk Top Publishing If you care to
comment or add your thoughts to it about getting Unity Linux Magazine
started I'd be grateful.

So far as far as I know it's not to many.

-------------

 So if you all want to help with the magazine then maybe give a heads up everyone and maybe we could have a mag mailing list separate from the docs list. What you all think?

Sure, and if you guys want a separate domain and CMS/forum, just
holler. I'll make it happen ok?

Thank you. I was thinking google wave with dropbox but I know nothing about wave. We will need someplace to put the files.

Can't help you with that then...I have no google wave-foo. You guys
would be on your own :)

never used wave. should be fun playing with it.
what sort of cms do you have?
I know fullcirclemagazine (ubuntu) use wordpress and the old PCLos was
Joomla.
Does anyone have any knowledge of using any of these systems if not
I'd better get reading up on it.
Ye I think it is time we got a site at least it will be a start and we
need to get started. Not sure how much time Doug has to spare on the
Mag but, I'm OK for layout and helping out with a site. Might be an
idea to have a skype conference to thrash out some ideas?

I did the old Joomla site and hosted the mag at pclos.

I also do the Unity-Linux.org site which is wordpress.

I can also do just about any forum and CMS that's freely available :)
So if you guys need a CMS, I can make it happen in minutes.

Could we add the magazine to the main site? Like in the drop down we can have magazine and then it downloads the magazine?

I can put it in a menu item to link to the magazine site, possibly the
downloads page, but I cannot have very issue of the mag in the top
menu as a download.

So we could then link to a page where the mag lives? I was wanting a united look and fell through the unity site and mag if possible.

If you are going to be apart of the mag team I'll have an invite but,
if not then I don't waste your invite on me.

I'll be a part, I just won't be able to be the end-all be-all. I can proofread the occasional article and help with layout, but I don't have time to do layout by myself like i did for the pclos mag.

So--u want an invite? I haven't used any since I got wave, so it's not like I'll be wasting it! :-)

That would be great. I can handle the layout if you want to help great
but, don't panic over it. Articles and proofreading will be fine.
That's at least three to the team so far.
Me, you and Doug
