Not to my knowledge. I suppose Andrei Alexandrescu would know of one
if it existed. His site,
www.erdani.org, has a bunch of his
articles
on it. I guess its hard to find/choose the content that draws enough
subscribers. Maybe someone could make a quarterly C++ magazine work.
I've been thinking about this some more and am going to start an
on line magazine. That's simpler in a number of ways than trying to
put out a print magazine. To begin with I'll take my idea of
quarterly
and call it "C++ Quarterly." I only got two links when I searched for
that with the quotes.
Here's an idea: recruit people to write a variety of digests.
Who has time to wade through every post on this newsgroup,
comp.lang.c++.moderated, Boost newsgroups, stackoverflow and others?
We could have digests for each of those that summarize the highlights
of the newsgroup over the last three months. Perhaps some quarters
a digest would focus on posts from a dozen different threads and
other quarters focus on posts from just two related threads. It
would be up to the author. Besides the digests, I'd like to have
one other article in each edition. I'll ask Andrei to write of
course but others are welcome if interested.
As far as the business model, I think I'll do it like this:
authors get 100% of the revenue from ads on their pages. My
company will handle putting ads on the pages. We will have
the front page and some other pages that we will use to place
more ads and hopefully we'll make some money that way.
I'd like to have the first edition ready by before the end of the
second quarter -- June 30. If you would like to write either a
digest or article, please get in touch with me -- coal at
mailvault.com or woodbrian77 at gmail.com. I know a web designer
that I think would be willing to work with me on the site and I
intend to have, for example, the ability for readers to post
comments about articles. To begin with it may be a branch off of
my site or seventy7.com. If it goes well, we'll set up a
separate web site. Thanks to Pavel for original suggestion.
