It is a community effort. I think this is a cool idea. It would be free right?

I'd be willing to help edit. English has always been my strong suit. :whistle:
(Of course, that assumes the magazine would be in English...)

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Sounds like a great idea, but like arjan staring said: some of us live all over the world. And don't forget that there will be major arguments for some of the spelling (coloUr, honoUr). Us canadians are pretty picky over that. Haha just kidding.

Forget english. It is a hard language to learn. It is my native language so I can make fun of it all I want.

We need to write the magazine in a universal language. Something like binary or AutoIt.

hi guys,
sounds like a great idea...but let's look at the cons

1) Cost of production
2) Availability in PDF format (can the codes be copied or hyperlinks be clicked on?)
3) If we should really be interested in any of the gurus codes printed on the magazine, won't it be a hassle to refer to the mag and then type it into the PC?

Just a tot. I might be wrong. If so apologies...

I can easily create free PDF files. All I need is a Word document or Open Office Writer document.

Yes, you can copy and paste from PDF. As for hyperlinks, I know that clickable text works. I doubt that PDF would not support hyperlinks.

I like the idea, but again whos willing to do it when everyone's probably scripting something....

any way, I support the idea, its pretty cool but I think it'd much much much way way WAY easier if it was just a PDF file.... but then again if it were an actual Magazine, I think we'd net in alot more intrested people to start using auto it... and again... who'd pay for it? lawl

I doubt that PDF would not support hyperlinks.

They do convert them to their own jump within the document links. As far as atleast Adobe Acrobat v4.0 support links.

Thanks for your replies and interest!!! ;)

Of course I could't be the editor because english is not my native language but I can traslate it to spanish... Anyway I think English is the option.

PDF format files could be created using OpenOffice and support hyperlinks... The idea is to distribute via internet (not printed) and could be downloaded from the autoit webpage (with permission, of course)

The articles must be contributions of autoit gurus... like some who have replied this post (not me).

Could be interesting if we can have a pool of editors and combine the efforts... (less work for each).

Again...
