This idea is probably impractical, but it sounds like fun:

'What I would love to see is a renegade offline magazine that was contributed to and edited by leading fully/semi independent websites. It wouldn't have to be glamorous (aka ludicrously expensive to produce) just something with compelling written content.

For example, take the talents and access to potential readers that the following sites offer: Slashdot, disinformation, The smoking gun, f$%&edcompany, Netslaves, bbspot, Politec, Fark, Metafilter, The Register (perhaps getting slightly too far away from 'independent'). Then add to that contribution from guess columnist and reader submissions and you would have half a chance of producing a decent publication. The beauty of such an operation is that your potential audience is sat ready to buy and thus success would not rely on marketing of Boo!basistic proportions.'

I will order my copy now.
