more information on the magazine
Well guys thanks for all the support and ideas. Since you guys are up for it let’s talk about it more. Ok here is my idea.
This is an online magazine. This will be available for download in “PDF” format. The reason for this is if we publish these articles monthly on a webpage it won’t be a magazine. It would be ultimately a website that is being updated once per month yeah? This won’t be congested with blog posts that we have already read although we can have a column of best 5-10 blog posts per month. It should have original content. This is an independent magazine and is totally non-profit. This is from the Maldivian bloggers to the Maldivian people. The idea of the magazine is to show our ideas and thoughts about what is happening around us, a way for our voices are to be heard so to speak.
The whole idea around this magazine is ‘independence’. You’re welcome to submit whatever article you like unless it’s offensive in nature. You’re welcome to design the page for the article you are submitting. It will ultimately have your flavor to it, creating a sense of individualism to each page. The compilation of all the pages would show the creativity of an ‘Independent Nation’.
This is the whole idea behind this magazine and if you like this idea I’ll start work on it organizing the whole thing.
Project: Indie Nation starts now.
Note: This is by no means the name of the magazine. This is just a code name

I think now I get the whole idea. It’s really good. And yeah, monthy releases would be fine. And since readers are supposed to download it, why not just use rapidshare?

i could give u guys a sub domain in maldiviannet.com with all ftp acceess
not to the main directory but something like mv-blogzine.maldiviannet.com ny ways maail dude add me to ur msn

No offense, but “mv-blogzine” kinda gives the impression that we are obsessed with the name “mv-blogs”…. since this mag is not about bloggin, why not go for something completely new… Indie Mag doesnt sound bad…

Indie Nation sounds much cooler…But hey it’s a democracy and we can decide on a name when we got enough volunteers
October 23, 2007 at 5:12 am
aFu: that would be reallly cool. We can decide on a name after we have enough members. Dude just mail in what you want to contribute (if you want to contribute with the web site management or want to write a column..if so what column..check the next post for more info) then we can give different jobs to different people.
And I’ll add you on msn
