I'd be in favor of a more structured, regular approach for the "miki"
(wiki magazine) ... I think the structure would provide a more
consistent and valuable archive that would help newbies to PmWiki learn
about it's capabilities. However, that approach would require one or
more regular editors to compile articles into the various regular
sections.<br>
<br>
We could use Categories to create a pool of pending / approved
articles, so in the near future hopefully the editor(s) have a large
selection to choose from and will not be chasing down articles or
having to write the magazine/"miki" itself. (BTW, is that name catching
on yet? :) ) The editors then simply change the category to reflect
the "issue" that the article appears in, and edit the Category home
page to create the Table of Contents / overviews.<br>
<br>
What "sections" would everyone like to see? Interview, Success Story /
Site Profile, Tech Tips, Q & A (perhaps taken from the mailing
list, similar to what WebProNews does with their forums), and of course
a Donate button in each issue for Pm ;)<br>

I like the idea of it not being on my plate. I'm wondering if we
need "issues" that are collections of articles, or if it's worthwhile
to just have a new article published every week, with an appropriate
announcement to the listservs.
I'm open to either approach.
Of course, there are several articles I'll likely want to write
(or, more accurately, to fetch out of the mailing list archives
and convert into an article). But I'm really interested in hearing
what others have done with/for PmWiki.

I'm always available for interviews, just send questions or
