Fudge RPG - Webzine: Volunteer

After due reflection over this weekend and the last few days, I've decided
I'm very interested in seeing this project moving forward.

So much so, that I'm offering to coordinate soliciting and gathering
articles, and compiling them into issues, along with basic editing and
cohesion tasks.

This is a difficult thing to do, because I don't want to sound arrogant,
while it is actually an action that _is_ arrogant :)

Basically, I'm saying that I have the interest and the time available to
devote to this.  Anyone who feels they can and will do a better job is
welcome to step forward: I'm more interested in seeing this happen than in
stroking my ego.

What I see as a feasible goal is:

1) publish an "issue" based web 'zine.  Exact format can be hashed out
later--I'd prefer either HTML or PDF (or both), with a stronger leaning
towards HTML.

2) Given the numbers of volunteers that have come forth, I'm guessing that
we can't realistically expect more than a monthly issue of roughly 5
articles (depending on length).  Success can bring in more writers, and I
see regular issues as more important that issue size at this point.

3) Following the experiences I've seen with TSS, Pyramid, and JTAS, I'm
thinking we can develop a number of top level categories that submitters
can submit into:  Thus, even without regular columnists (and I'd love to
get a few of those, but that's an issue of development) readers can get a
sense of consistency.  Both Pyramid and TSS are Origin Award Nominees, so
they seem like good models to imitate.

If everyone is happy to let me take on the task of assembling, we should
iron out the ideas above and start working on submissions.  If not, those
objecting should bring their cases forward. :)
