Hi Here at Xephon, we are thinking of launching a technical journal on Linux on the S/390.
We're not sure it's viable, though, so I'd like to ask list members for their advice on the subject. The journal would cover topics related to both the mainframe and to Linux - I'm sure no one needs another general Linux Journal or another general mainframe journal. My question is: are there enough technical problems at the Linux/mainframe interface to warrant a monthly 40-page journal, in the following areas: - implementation - administration - technical support - user modifications/extensions. We might also cover application development as well, though we currently expect our main audience to be systems programmers. It would also be very helpful if you could mention the subject areas within each of these categories that might yield the most useful material (quantitatively and qualitatively). We hope list members might consider contributing articles, too. As with our other mainframe-oriented publications (MVS Update, CICS Update, etc), we expect to pay contributors (you can see our "Notes for Contributors", which cover such matters, here: http://www.xephon.com/nfc).
