Before anyone thrashes me too soundly for this, Indian journalist Rishab
Ayer Ghosh(sp?) a fairly active cypherpunk contributor back then, was one
of the original editors, and asked me to help out, about 4 years ago or so.
In the first two months I edited Sameer's article on remailer networks
(tres irnonic, considering their legal solution to defamation), and Tatsuo
Tanaka's article on the transnationality of digital cash, which I didn't
agree with in results, but at least he had a clue about what the technology
got us.
Then, not much else, after that. :-).
Rishab isn't there anymore, it's moved from Denmark to Chicago, and,
frankly, who needs, heh, peer review ;-), when you have the web, right?
Eric Raymond would probably agree, himself, now that his Cathedral and the
Bazaar(sp?) got him tens of million in free VAUnix stock...
Cheers,
RAH
