## Keeping it all together
## Jim Mock <jim@freebsdzine.org>

In the last issue, the title of this column was "Putting it all 
together", and now that everything is up and we've got the first issue
under our belts, I thought that this month's title suits it well.

Keeping it all together involves more than you might think.  In addition
to pestering the current authors for new articles every month, I've been
recruiting new authors (many of their articles are in this issue),
organizing mirror sites, and trying to come up with interesting topics for
articles.

We also had over 6,500 hits site-wide within the first week that Issue #1
was online, and hopefully the momentum will stay with us.  One thing that
we're concerned about is losing the interest of people reading the 'zine.
Any suggestions for article subjects that readers are interested in seeing
covered in future issues are highly regarded because of this.  On the same
note, if you've got a great idea for an article and would like to write it
for an upcoming issue, please do.

With any luck by the time you're reading this editorial, all of our
existing mirrors will be up and functional.  We're still working with some
of them, and we're in the process of setting up a central FTP site so our
mirrors can update easily.

We're also working on a mailing list that we hope to have finished by the
time Issue #3 is out at the beginning of March.

Before I wrap up, I'd like to especially thank all of our authors.  Keep
those articles flowing, you're all doing an outstanding job.  I'd also
like to thank our mirror sites and all of our readers.  None of this would
be possible without any of you.

Thanks guys!

- Jim
