I was thinking about something like this.
Let's see. Set up a publishing firm, obtain a government grant or
loan, obtain a license for publishing Dangerous Journeys material
from Wizards (A DJSTL under the OGL?), and set up a publishing deal
with you folks.
Sounds doable. The hard part being persuading Wizards.
Essentially, the Dangerous Journeys books would be available, under
license, in PDF for pay download. For those who insist on hard copy,
I have a friend who could make risographed (high tech mimeo)
available, or perhaps even set up a print on demand deal.
(I'm brain storming, I do that.:))
Anyway, good luck with it.
Alan
