Magazine

Is there a magazine devoted to smalltalk?
Shouldn't there be one? Just my thoughts.

There was a magazine called Smalltalk Report published by SIGS. It was
discontinued in 1998.

Since then the Internet has become the main publication. Mainly blogs
replaced the magazine.

Do you have ideas how to create a new magazine? Should it be electronic?
There might be a place for it on the STIC web site. Do you know a volunteer
to become the editor?

Some steps:

1) Feasibility. Perform a market segmentation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_segmentation
2) Make an Executive Summary: objectives, priorities, motivation,
publication style, innovation elements, updating (weekly, monthly,
printed serial? on-line serial? both?, etc).
3) Establish content, structure, aesthetics, editorial staff and office.
4) Collect experts for new articles, reviewers, e-mails, graphic
designers, etc.

In some point you should get an interview with a publishing editor
(with of course, the same interest in the area) or create your own.
Some steps must be performed by other institutions, for example, your
country ISSN centre should request an ISSN at the ISSN International,
etc.
