Martin, Yes, I'd love to have someone cover the TLUG meetings, I'd like to get regular coverage of the group meetings- tell people what they're missing :) Articles on peal, java would be good too, tell me what you'd like to write about. No problem keeping articles to the print issue only. I'm planning to handle the online/print issue like Maisonneuve (http://www.maisonneuve.org/) does it- all the articles are listed, but only certain ones can be read online- more incentive for people to pick up the print copy if they know what's in there.

I'd be interested in contributing to the project. Java related articles and possibly perl as well as newbie FAQs. Coverage of the TLUG meetings? Sing my up!

In the early 1990s there where a two free newspapers providing computing information for the Toronto audience: Toronto Computes and The Computer Paper.

Probably, because revenue comes from ads. Newspapers and magazines are there to sell ads, with writing used as fillers.
than for someone looking for for an ISP with good tech support or where to meet Linux-heads in Toronto.
To this end I'd like to see who would be interested in a new computer paper for the Toronto area. This would be a free and have a pro-Linux/OpenSource
Despite hype, there is nothing to "sell" on Linux or Open Source area. Well, so far, at least.
-Is this something that is needed?
I think one is enough for GTA computer stores.
-What would you like to see / not see in a computer newspaper
More sale items.
-Would you be interested in writing or helping out?
For print newspaper or magazine, yes. For online, no.
