Might want to talk to the Fedora Weekly News guys. I always thought
that was supposed to be the magazine type thing.
As a matter of fact, I stopped work on this ...

... when FWN came into the fold of the Fedora Project.
IMO, we should *not* fragment our efforts. Maybe there is some value in
putting together a longer magazine format. Personally, I think it is a
HUGE challenge for volunteers. We've been slowly working up from
shorter content to full-lengthy guides for Fedora Docs, and we are not
there yet.
It takes a fair amount of effort to put FWN together. There is more to
being an editor than one might think, unless you have actually been an
editor-in-chief. Even an every-other-month magazine with a small staff
is going to take some full-time weeks to make happen.
Instead, if we build up the staff of FWN, then look at growing that into
outputting a bi-monthly magazine, that has good chance of success. I
think this is a situation where we need to learn to crawl, then walk,
before we run.
