[magazine] Idea: Monthly editorial inspiration email

[Michael Downey]

Hi all,

I was chatting with someone about articles on opensource.com earlier today, and he reminded me that that blog's team sends out a monthly email to a listserv of existing authors, that contains some  ideas for potential blogs.

Seems to me that this might be useful for the Magazine's past authors to (a) inspire them to keep writing, and (b) give them an idea of what would create good content.

What do others think? There may be some authors for that blog reading this, so feel free to share your reaction to the idea "in the real world".

Cheers,
Michael

I think is a great idea. Last week I sent an email with some news from
outer sources (outside Fedora project) about Fedora. I think Justin is
collecting some as well. It's a good idea to have some source that ignite
the spark of inspiration for authors.

Cheers

One thing I forgot to add ... now that we have a separate mailing list, it
may be easier for (potential) authors to discuss & develop ideas here as
well, based on those suggestions.

Big +1.

If the ideas don't get written, a quarterly post about new writers could include them.

A late follow-up from me, but for what it's worth, I think this would be 
an awesome idea. It would be great if someone wanted to work on 
expanding some of the starter pitches and do some trial runs on an 
ad-hoc basis. :)

Yes, This works for me as well. I used to write for magazine and if we 
start with something like this, I feel this is the right way to inspire 
people including me ;)
