I think it could still be done, but there needs to be more than one at the helm. After the initial announcement that he was accepting proposals, I never heard about it again until the Sussman and Hickey interviews (thanks btw). There is certainly a need for this, and despite Hacker Monthly's success, it's not exactly "there." That said, maybe the model, at least to start with, is something that pulls and edits existing blog content (maybe even expands upon the post) and has a few all new articles. Maybe getting 10-15 high quality, from scratch, 4-5 page articles a quarter is just too much to ask in the age of blog.
