Dear all,

Nettime-j, it's a totally interesting idea. I would love to see nettime
become generative beyond its traditional format. In that regard I tried
Mastodon, but I'm just not into chat... or even, incisive but isolated
comments, which would be a more fair description.

Many nettime posts could be published out of the box. I agree with Allan
that the heterogeneous side of the list should be preserved - academic is
fine if you feel it, but there are many ways to write.

Most interesting for me would be a journal that requests from an author or
authors a re-eleaboration of some ideas that came out in a debate. Because
often these debates take place, and retrospectively, the whole subject
becomes much more expansive and interesting and precise than one could
perceive at the start.

That would also discourage people from writing polished things that are
only posted on the list because the author wants to be published in the
journal. Instead we would just take what we are already doing and push it
further, toward something really original that reaches out beyond its own
charmed circle.

all the best, Brian
