The Perl Journal e-zine

owkeuflk writes "When TPJ became part of SysAdmin magazine, I was disappointed, but I stuck with them, and that is probably how they had my e-mail address to contact me that TPJ is being brought back as an e-zine, that is, if they can get 3000 pre-paid subscriptions. I might try it out, even though they are expanding coverage to include Windows -- unthrilled. I liked TPJ best when is was printed on plain, unglossy paper...."

Needs a progress meter

There needs to be a "Total subscriptions received: $num_subs" banner up there. I'd be happy to help put them over the top, but if they only have 6 people interested, I don't want to send them my credit card number.

Yes, one could argue this is a silly position, but if I'm not the only one this could help draw what they need. K5 used a similar strategy and they got their funding.

One additional problem is that I'm going to pay for 12 issues, but I'm only guaranteed to get one (becaused I get charged for 12 when 1 comes out). This project appears to be a partial implementation of the Street Performer Protocol. I'd trust them more if they implemented more of it, especially third-party escrow.
