What is needed to add an index to the Magazine then?

The Magazine is in fact a blog format, not a periodical. Therefore indexing would be somewhat counter-intuitive.
Definition of "magazine" in the OED (Oxford English Dictionary): "A periodical publication containing articles and illustrations, often on a particular subject or aimed at a particular readership"
Yes; "Magazine" is somewhat a misnomer. It was named before it really took off, and once it took off, it grew in a direction different from the name. But it doesn't really seem worthwhile to rename it, and I don't think it really makes sense to force something that's working to change to fit the name, either.
I don't find anything "counter-intuitive" in an index, particularly in a digital document. I was looking for an article I recalled seeing in the Fedora Magazine, and found the absence of an index, or indeed any link of any kind, bizarre (as I said) and inconvenient.
I don't see any particular reason to be _opposed_ to an index if you'd like to work on one.
