@Brad: I'm far more interested in the possibilities and implications of collab at this point, moreso than when I started the discussion about a printed publication.

And I think the lack of more in depth, timeless materials is due to the lack of time that some WordPress bloggers can devote to the craft. After all, we have to pay the bills.

@Ozh: I agree with you about the different voices. Absolutely. But are the two ideas (having a more central place for all of these bloggers, and having more unique voices) mutually exclusive? Could there be a stronger central location where these different editorial and creative voices could exist?
