There's actually a few issues and a mailing list infrastructure for Signal
to Noise, which was my attempt at a NB e-zine. It seemed to do pretty well,
but it was a lot of work.

You're welcome to take it all over! The editorial email for this stuff is
noiserat at noisebridge.net -- I deliberately set up a role-ish email so that
someone else could take it over.

Weirdly for someone who used to write what was effectively a gossipzine, I
tried to avoid this in the first few issues of signal to noise. It actually
has a million super-effective routes already at spreading weird gossip.
There's nothing wrong with adding another one, but I figured at the time
that it's easy to end up creating and then siding with partisan social
groups if you do this, and that kind of screws you over from being a zine
for everybody in NB. I wanted to slowly introduce it more when the image of
the zine was stabilised, because it's hugely fun, but it's really hard for
it not turn into a hatebucket if you do it to early or get it wrong.

But anyway! To the do-acrats, the spoils!
