Hi,
I've decided to start work on a new projcet.  It would be a magazine
dedicated to the textmode computer experience.  Subjects of interest would
include:

Shell commands,
ANSI artwork,
ASCII artwork,
The BBS community,
Specific BBS software,
Secure communications with proxies
Encoders, transcoders, and processors
Amateur Radio over Packet
Instant Messaging
Text-based games
Specific software: GnuPG, WIPE, nWIPE, SyncTerm, Netrunner, 
Text-to-speech and speech to text
Braille,
LPIC-1/Linux+ tips and hints
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and its alternatives
Retro-computing
etc. etc. etc.

I would like to hear from everyone out there what further ideas you think
would be good to add to the lineup on the magazine, and if you're interested
in helping out on this project.

Furthermore, I'm looking to see if there are any ANSI artists out there who
would be willing to do 50x80 screens that will be printed on the cover of
each magazine.  On the back of the zine would be a screenshot of the logon
menu or something similar from a BBS of the issue.  So the front would have
ansi graphics custom for each issue, and the back would have ansi taken from
one of the very attractive boards out there.  It would be released quarterly.

Peace and thank you!

Best regards,
warmfuzzy
