I actually a small brian storm on this. I thought it would be great if someone
made a BEAM "e-zine" or, better yet, someone printed an actual monthly BEAM
newsletter. After thinking a little more about this, I realized something.
Because the BEAM community is rather "close-knit", there would really be no
need for such a thing! I mean, every day we get plenty to read about BEAM from
this mailing list. Another source of news is any one of the more maintained
BEAM sites (Fang's, Ian's, etc). Also, the Heretics board is also crawling
with new and complex ideas. A monthly magazine wouldn't measure up to any of
these sources!
I hope I got my intended point across.
Oh, about my site: I plan to have it finished by the 12th but it could be
longer. I orginally planned to open it about 2 weeks ago so I have a way of
pushing deadlines back..
