Having edited quarterly (paper) 'zines for rather too many years I am well
aware of the time involvement. Online 'zines are not necessarily less
demanding.
Playing Devil's advocate, if there is so much material out there to be
shared with others, why don't the authors simply post the articles to this
list? They might even generate more discussion that way, and the list is
archived. The only downside is if there are pictures as these will need to
be uploaded somewhere and not attached to the posting.
If trying to emulate paper publications (where a whole bunch of new articles
need to appear together) is the stumbling block then clearly other
alternatives possible with e-publishing need to be explored. One idea that
seems sensible to me would for articles and pictures etc to be uploaded to
LSJ individually from time to time (but not to any regular timescale) and a
short email to this list alerts members to the new material. Any better
ideas out there???
