Not very badly. It would be nice to have a paper thingy to handle and
show to people, but I have information overload already (I delete about
60% of the list traffic unread) and I'm really not waiting for yet
another medium that wants my attention.

Well, we had the NGL yearbook that took itself far too seriously (I can
say that; I was the editor-in-chief). Fake academic, in fact. I think a
magazine might be a little more varied, with bits of news and light
stuff as well as serious articles. (Note: I'm *not* volunteering to
work on it; I'm doing lots of volunteer work already. Though I do have
HTML skills, and if you guys need it I can probably run another mailing
list :-)

> - How often/much to you expect to contribute yourself?
I might do the occasional book review or something like that, but don't
expect semi-scholarly articles from me.

If I have time and energy to write something, it will probably go on my
web page first. I'll contribute if nobody minds if it goes on my web
page as well. I don't have any *extra* time and energy. I did write
something (three things in fact) for the yearbook, but that was before
I had any kids or even cats.
