[Gambas-devel] Gambas Magazine - Update

[Randall Morgan]

Hi Tobias,

I can work up a list of topics for a 12 month period (4 issues). There was
an article on Intro to genetic programming in the last issue. I provided
many images to my artist who is only an artist (painting, sculpting,
etc...) and she did what she could in the limited time she had and did it
as a favor. But it wasn't what I was hoping for either. Still, you don't
look a gift horse in the mouth...

I'll work up themes for each issue and article ideas. However, they will
not be exclusive. If other ideas for article come about we can include them
into the issue that best fits them.

Thanks for you help (again)

Randall

If you ask me if it can be done. The answer is YES, it can always be done.
The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will
it take?
