If you're thinking about a ruby magazine, it might be worth looking at The
Perl Review.  They've started an online magaizine, and are considering
taking it to print.  There's a fairly large community volunteering
(writing, reviewing, etc), which we'd need if we were to start a magazine
on our own ... 

It's a big undertaking, and not one to go into without a good bit of
thought up front.  Is it worth a BoF at RubyConf2002?
