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. tj
