At the moment, I'm probably the only person who is willing to try to keep
GNOME Journal alive.  We've lost a lot of team people in GJ, and part of it
is is that our publishing process has gone out of whack and I know for sure
I'm not keeping track of people who have promised to write articles so that
I can bug them.

If we have articles I can also not only get them published in GNOME Journal
but some of our own articles can probably be republished on Linux.com.  That
might give people some added incentives to write for us rather than doing a
blog post.

Blog posts, G+ are hard to compete against.  Especially G+ where some of you
might have hundreds or even thousands of followers.

Anyways, I need to write up a plan and then put a process in place to keep
contributors and track them and help them write articles.

It would be nice if we could move to a site that is similar to the rest of
GNOME though. :)

The journal format I think is still effective.  But if others feel that it
might be better as a blog I don't have any objections.
