Proposal: Make a publication
I would send this question to the Catholic Light contributors privately, but what the heck — I’ll send the question urbi et orbi. The posts on this blog are getting to be a mixture of bite-sized, blogesque paragraphs and multi-hundred-word essays. I think we should consider starting a Catholic Light online publication, with the blog being one of the sections. We could divide up the essays into Arts & Culture, Faith, Apologetics, Politics, or what have you, and have a home page featuring several essays at once. We could also accept contributions from people who are outside the Chosen Few.
It wouldn’t be a huge undertaking to write a content-management system to handle the site, and between the contributors we have more than enough talent to make a technically excellent site. Given the low cost of hosting, I’m sure we could figure out how to pay for it somehow (I don’t think we’d need more than $50 a month or so).
We’re generating a ton of material here — I think it’s quickly outgrowing the blog format. What do you all think?
