<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Agree with Kjettil - As a not yet user I like
PmWikiMagazine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Guess it will be PWM soon enough ;-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"wikizine" should perhaps be reserved for the TYPE
of magazine-webpage/site-wiki you are discussing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regarding the format I beleive one should use
several of the suggested forms.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1- Some sort of layouted issues. Articles, news,
comments, user/site of the month, interviews, what's happening in the wiki world
etc. Could be as simple as a frontpage-pdf with links.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2- Archives of written text, news, interviews
etc</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3- ProtoArchives where anyone can put
up articles they want others to write!, I am writing on this article
(scoop+timeframe), but need / want / don't want help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I trawled many wikisites looking for one with
"explorer-type ToC". Found <A

<A

is one of the few I've seen so far.</FONT></DIV>

it?<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR>I totally agree. The title could be

Magazine - it may not be "sexy", but it tells exactly what it is (intended
to be), also to people with a mother tongue different from English. PmWiki
is used and appreciated by an international audience and should therefore
address that audience. Even if the target area is the whole world, the
language shall of course be the (only truly) international language, viz.
English (sorry for that French and German colleagues!).<BR><BR>As regards
contents: I can't find that anyone yet has written a book on how to set up a
PmWiki site, like has been done for e.g Joomla. And there's probably no
need, since PmWiki is so easy to set up and configure - and it's highly
configurable and extendable. But in that versatility lies a problem, in
particular for those new to the business (with varying degrees of knowledge
of PHP, xHTML, CSS, server setup, etc). This list shows repeatedly that
beginners encounter the same type of problems. ww.pmwiki.org is a wonderful
source of tools, advice and help - but it takes months to find out how to
use it effectively. PmWiki Magazine could do a lot to ease the setting up of
PmWiki sites and relieve Pm from the burden of repeatedly having to give the
same advice and help to beginners. <BR><BR>But, experienced administrators
also need advice and guidance, be it on a more advanced level. This list is
a goldmine - but you can't reasonably read and remember everything. And,
that day when you yourself have that particular problem, it may take a lot
of time to find the advice in the archives. Therefore, articles for
experienced administrators are also necessary.<BR><BR>As regards look and
feel: To show the full capacity of PmWiki as a CMS, the PmWiki Magazine
should have a CMS layout, with a nice CMS type skin.<BR><BR>/kjettil<BR><BR>
