Wiki Magazine
From Fabricatorz Wiki
WikiMagazine is just that. It reprints articles from Wiki's in progress in a magazine, that simple. Any additions are then added back to the appropriate repositories.
The magazine is CC BY-SA licensed.
The project should use a wiki, and have a repository for scripts which access mediawiki api, and convert wikisyntax to docbook, and/or latex for conversion to PDF and/or other target output formats.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RecentChangesCamp
- take top 50 articles from a certain time and print them
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?namespace=0&tagfilter=&title=Special%3ARecentChanges
- Can't use because complete domination of the term by wikipedia in search engines:
- Thematic Articles
- Pick 10 and print them!
- how is this different from just the featured news?
- Is different due to ground up contributions by persons interested in the chosen topic.
- Also contributes in a focused way to the expansion of public knowledge.
- Make it about contributing where areas are weak in contribution, and/or to larger freeculture
- Make it international?
- Yes, it is a good idea. It would give more credence to the egalitarian nature of wikipedia.
- Do we systematize article selection? Is more a community oriented approach?
- Also do we take snapshots of the article as it appears when the final contribution was made?
