<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

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>
