Okay. :-)

I'm not sure that a Linux magazine with 'the community' as its primary
target audience will be successful in print, *if* we're talking about
standard newsagent distribution, etc. There are other models that might work
for something like that, such as a membership journal (AUUG does this).

Is 'the community' the intended target audience for linmagau? Is there a
better target audience that can support the magazine (in print or not)? What
are your goals?

Sorry to start with the big questions. ;-)
