Well the webzine is now officially under construction. I appreciate
all the offers to help, and have e-mailed the few people who have been
choosen (so check all your e-mails!). If you haven't been contacted
then thanks, but you're contributions are not needed. If any more help
or ideas are needed I'll probably post again for these, (eg. opinions
on an article or whatever).

With any luck the Webzine will be ready by the 1st of next month*.

The danger is that we get to see an amazing first issue, bursting with
contributions from exited volunteers, followed by a bunch of two-page
volumes. Postponing contributions to ensure a steady supply of
interesting issues is a good thing.

Oh, so he's talking about only accepting contributions for the first issue?
I'd still want to make the "Did you know ..." feature a continuing column.
There's more than enough interesting stuff about this game to keep it going
month after month.

What do you think of a "tip of the month" column
