Yes no problem. I'm trying to get a magazine together for OpenOffice. At the moment I've got a bit of a layout done and requested some articles off a few organisations that use OpenOffice. Hot had any articles yet still waiting. As far as a name goes not sure what to call it yet the nearest I can come up with is OpenOffice Magzine. As far as payment for articles go. If money groes on tress or comes out of thin air then you'll get very rich writing for the project as no payment are provided it is a community project and I expect the community to provide some free content.
If you are interested in helping out with hte project then please get in touch and we can discuss this further. The mag as is or as far as I have got can be downloaded from http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=714&expandFolder=714&folderID=0 take a look let me know if you have any suggestions that might help or better still send any article or tutorials if you have them.
