@MK2boogaloo Well, it's fedi, like half the software authors are all the way in a trans situation; pedos are another matter. I don't think the trans thing is going to be topical, though if it's just stuff about the network and the code and goings on, announcements, news.
If you start it up, I'd be pleased to help out. (Like I said, can't be me running it or making decisions for obvious reasons, but I'm happy to send in pieces, I can host or host a mirror, whatever. I like text files but I get it if that's unpopular, as long as it's possible to archive, pass around copies, whatever. Like if you did HTML but used data: URLs for images, you could still have self-contained files. Obviously PDFs work but then you have added the job of doing layout and the files can get big; you might need a few people on "staff".)
Randomly selected samples of FidoNews text files. Phrack is at https://phrack.org/ and they are still doing text files, PoC||GTFO is mirrored all over, they use PDFs that are also zip files, and those are cool but they are kind of huge (the first several actually included previous issues in the zip file, so like issue 6 contained issue 5, which contained issue 4, etc., here is a mirror/index: https://github.com/angea/pocorgtfo . I don't know how you wanna do it; like you know the usual format is colophon, editorial, submissions, then announcements at the end, but you always end up having to adapt it a little.
Anyway, like I said, if you do it, let me know if you need something, I'll help where I can.
