I am thinking about a small Linux magazine. A magazine about LDP and some
other topics. We need a fresh continues air to the project. Basically, I
think we need a very liquid way to gain more users. That way could be a
newspaper, or a small magazine, or just a news section on the site. But the
content should be regularly updated. At least once a week.
