>>>The UT Mag is a big source of information and tips about VFP. I hope in the next month I see the UT Mag full again.
>>
>>I receive also the same by email where many are requesting the release of the issue and to know about things like that. For most of them, they never contributed to the magazine. If our regular readers would simply submit one contribution in a four year period, we would have enough materials for a very long time. But, many regular contributors, I think, are tired to support the magazine by themselves as it is pratically mostly the same contributors every time. All that is also done on a volunteer basis and that also includes the translation coordinators and the translators. So, it is difficult for me to send them email and request the expected contributions that was not delivered or sent on time.

>>For this month, if I could receive a few VFP tips and one more article, I would be able to complete the process. At least, we would have the English version ready and we would be able to release that one first and have the rest translated later.

>Michel, please don't push it back at the community. As the publisher YOU are responsible for gathering and vetting enough content for each issue, or having others do so on your behalf. "Unless more contributions come in we won't be publishing this month" is lame if you want to be taken seriously as a magazine publisher.

I don't see anything wrong in what Michel said. It looks like a simple equation to me. Not enough articles = no magazine. Could you tell me what is lame to you? Is it the wording?

>On a more constructive note, if you have an idea on the back burner that hasn't been a UT Magazine article yet, feel free to pitch it to me. I have some time on my hands.
