Silly late night idea, but I'd figure I'd throw it out here since we're 
brainstorming:

http://journal.gnome.org

From what I've been gathering on irc, some kind of super sweet xml is 
the right way to do this (I don't know jack about XML, but it sounds to 
me like we can massage it anyway we see fit), perhaps (since Jim's 
original email mentioned Linux Journal) we could do this as a website, 
and then wrap up monthly for print/whatever?

I'm thinking nothing but original content for this, so there would be no 
overlap with existing GNOME news efforts. It sounds like the existing 
idea would be a monthly production, which gives us about 4 weeks to put 
an "issue" together. Would something a bit saner like "we plug in little 
chunks throughout the week online, and then wrap it all the good stuff 
at the end of the month in one huge docbook article suitable for 
printing" work better?
