I think that is a good idea in terms of approaching
those large magazines.
In terms of our webzine, that might be something to
work up to over a period of months.
I'm offering to insert articles about rebol at the
beginning rather covertly at first. Our webzine is
at least originally formed around the concept of a
Linux "Community".
If you look at the first archive, you will see an earlier
column that I wrote. I challenge you to read it. I
come from an entirely different point of view of
business scenarios
. You'll see a totally different
scenario
there. And I plug rebol.
