Maybe ticalc.org or Omni could revive it eventually. I know TsukasaZX/Subaru[G] was planning a TI magazine or something last Spring but it never really took off.

That would be very cool! I'd love to have a calculator newsletter.

In fact, I could start one, with the help of a PHP programmer and someone who is also interested, because I can't do it by myself, but I have some ideas

I do too!

Anyone interested in joining me a trimestral newsletter sent as HTML and or PDF?

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 05, 2010, 09:22:07 pm: Well, first, the people doing it would have to find some ideas for it. This topic could have some ideas: http://ourl.ca/4292

Post by: Munchor on December 07, 2010, 03:59:34 pm: Yes, that has some ideas.

All new projects (almost all) should be there. Updates on projects.
New members in communities.

I don't like the interviews part, it is cool, but wouldn't like to do it.

Sure, I know some HTML and CSS. I also have an easily modifiable CSS template that I use for most things.

For interviews we would eventually run out of people to interview maybe. Maybe we could just do an interview every now and then, not every newsletter.
