Cool! Do we get a % in the profits as well?

This is an outstanding initiative. I am very impressed! To involve readers as writers is tapping a latent goldmine.

When you say, “would you like to be editor…” are you cleverly leaving out the ‘sub-’ that would fall before it, or is there really a chance that I could score the pole position of editor for this special issue, including my picture and MY editor’s note appearing in the front of the mag? (this is a serious question)

I think this is an awesome idea! Would be a great way to get fresh thoughts into an already awesome magazine!

Could be a Fun Exercise. Cameron’s reply though does poise an interesting question. What say you?

The ever ticking entrepreneurial mind, eh?

The Magazine 2.0 Experiment is just that: An experiment.

Of the 211 individuals who have already registered to participate, some will offer a headline, some will offer a story, some may even pen an article. How do we intend to reward all these people for their varying levels of support?

In the short term, honestly, we have no idea.

Although I do believe that in most cases additional exposure and the experience itself is likely to offer greater remuneration than we could ever provide in mere dollars and cents.

Will we get richer from the spoils of reader toils? Sadly, it’s very unlikely.

In fact, the Anthill Board recommended against this ‘experiment’ as it would be more cost effective for us to pursue traditional channels. But the collective gut of the editorial team said, ‘What the f#%K’. The concept of a magazine largely developed by our readers was simply too intriguing to pass up.

Will one of our lucky readers be named editor?

Once again, this is an experiment and Carlee has identified another unknown. I can only assume that some contributors will be more active and hands on than others, so they probably will deserve some extra recognition. Only time will tell.

We’ll be learning along with you, our readers, about how to manage what we’ve already described as an audacious project. The best answer I can give to all the questions we’ve been receiving is quite simply, ‘Watch this space’.

Thanks again for your enthusiasm and curiosity. Wish us luck (seems already like we’ll need it).

hi, it all sounds great.
i just finished a thesis in business psychology and i was thinking of taking elements of that and writing an article about some of the findings that were made. should i provide standard referencing of all sources that are listed within that article?? are there any guidelines provided about required format and structure?
thanks again

I’d love to interview one of the leaders from the thriving local video game development industry: John De Margheriti, Tom Crago, Steve Fawkner, Mike Fegan, Rob Walsh or others.

I’ve previously had some involvement with the industry and find it fascinating. It’s a highly under reported export success story, facing interesting challenges ahead.

All of those guys speak passionately about what they do and could give great insight on how the industry developed and how they plan to tackle the challenges facing the industry.
