Doing a magazine is quite hard and requires lots of time as you have to hunt for news, first hand on Internet or second hand on various other magazines, try programs, write articles, draw graphics, edit HTML documents, test them and still you need some free time to learn something new on your own.

Moreover, English is not my native language, and I have to correct all the mistakes, which is not that simple.

So I'm looking for people to help me. I'm not asking them to do impossible things, just to write some articles of few kilobytes in pure ASCII standard. Those articles will be transformed into HTML ducuments and then added to this magazine. I think that would not require more than an hour for every article, which I think everyone who really want to collaborate can find in his/her free time (just don't play Worms for an evening 8) ).

The articles you will send me won't be modyified in any ways, all ideas and views will be left untouched, I won't censure anything unless they are offensive. All I will do it's to transform them in a HTML document with the standard Tarantula's layout ready to be linked in the hypertext.

What I'm looking for are some people who can write articles about specific fields, such as:

hardware reviews (everything is good, starting from reviews of ypur own accelerator board, gfx card, memory expansion, SCSI interface, CD-ROM, HD and especially A1200 ZorroII/III backplanes)

software reviews: any is good, PD, shareware or commercial

programming articles. I would like to have general programming helps and more related articles on the AmigaOS in general which will be then seen under the point of view of the various languages like C, C++, Assemby, BlitzBasic, AmigaE, Oberon, Pascal, Modula2, AMOS or whatever language one is able to use.

tutorials on specific difficult things that can be done with software like raytracing programs (Lightwave, Imagine, Real3D but also PovRay, Cinema4D, RayStorm, World Construction Set) or other complex software to use (maybe a tutorial on how to use the GCC compiler or even the SAS/C).

However, articles which express ideas or personal point of view are accepted and will be added untouched. Software authors can have their own space where to announce the release of their program with description of it, changes with respect to old versions and so on.

I would like to make you notice that this is a free magazine, distributed on a free media and so there won't be money involved in any way. If you want to collaborate all you'll get will be your name printed as author of the articles you'll write.
The author of the article can hold a copyright on it and the condition that it can't be modyfied, but must allow me to add the HTML tags. All articles must be written in English. That's all I require.

Last thing is that I won't change anything of the incoming articles without the permission of the author, but the author is responsible for whatever it's written in its own article.

So, if you want to contact me write at:
