Important thread about PCopy! magazine.

Ok, we got to admit that time is an value we dont have too much here.
Whats left of original team (me and mystikshadows) realized that its time to do something or this magazine is dead. I think you buddies think same way.

Question is how we move on. We certainly dont want it to die but also, submissions by 4 or maybe 5 contributors is way too less to keep on goin in reasonable time table.

We have figured out four solutions here.

1. We keep on doing as we do now. We trust and hope that number of contributors increases some nice day.
2. Pcopy changes its type. We create open website wich is kind of news center where anyone can post news, when they find some. Some admin approval etc. is naturally possible.
3. We give up. There is so much things goin on that freeing resources somewhere would make life easier.
4. We give it to someone who continues with it.

Now you dear readers, contributor etc. We need your ideas and resources. Help us here. :)

Thanks, E.K.Virtanen

I think PCopy would be the perfect experiment to try out wikidot as a news / info / portal site. ThemeLab4 is open if it needs a custom theme. :) —hartnell

I for one would like to see PCOPY! continue, but I can understand that just having a handful of people who contribute (without a heap of fans who will often be sending their own things in) would indeed make it hard to maintain.

Basically, either 1 or 2 is what I'd at least like to see, preferably no. 2 if it means you guys will have an easier time maintaining it.

To move PCopy! as an portal news site would be nice. I am not sure is it how good to use wikidot software for it tho.

Ok, i confess that i am way too busy to work with this issue. We heard yesterday that our offer about one house was accepted, house needs repairs so in future im even busier than now.
afaik, Mystik is also as busy as i am. Thats why i got to ask.

Is there someone who has motivation and time to work with PCopy!?
If someone has that time and motivation, we give him/her total freedom with PCopy!
Naturally, we support as much as we can but do else.

Personally, if work is done good, im gona take domain pcopy!.org and point it to place where new PCopy! is been maintained.
