The conversation has certainly diverted to a different topic, a very interesting one indeed.
Getting contributors, and subscribers, is likely to be the hardest part of any magazine - online or hardcopy.
Astro Photo Insight have certainly proven that the online model works - it's become a very popular e-magazine with a lot of subscribers around the world. It's not targeted at any particular region, so has worldwide appeal. Of course it's main target audience is astrophotographers, whereas another e-zine would be aimed at a broader audience, most likely.
It's definitely an interesting idea and one I've thought about in the past, but not really deep, serious thought.
Your enthusiasm has rubbed off though Rom, and it's certainly something I'll give some more thought to.
