I'd also add that much of the enhancement work is cross-platform, and so is getting covered pretty extensively in the mainstream Linux journals. I'd think you'd get some traction on a developer focused journal, but still, probably not enough to justify a full paper publication. Have you considered testing the waters with a newsletter-style publication, either electronic or paper? It's a lot smaller committment, and (especially with the electronic version) much lower startup and operating costs. Even if it were the equivalent of just the vendor section of VM/Update, that would still benefit some folks, with one or two major articles per issue, say quarterly or so, that would be as good as the paper copy. Now that PDF is pretty much ubiquitious, there's not a lot of reason to mail paper between the UK and the rest of the world if we don't have to. (background: VM/Update was a fabulous magazine, but $135/yr, with a substantial cut of it going to HM Royal Post, was the death of our subscription. We can do better now). -- db
