I enjoyed the articles and there was a lot of time and hard work in putting it together. Thanks for all those that were involved.
I PM'ed Nishka with some ideas and he wanted me to post them here.. I edited the original PM..

I used to be asst editor of my university newspaper (University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ). *suggestion to make a new small division* The pluses to this would be a dedicated group to only work on this. We can call them the Communications Department or Division or Squad whatever. Each member of Com would be under the Editor in Chief overseeing their monthly articles. Each person could be dedicated to a certain area to report on (deemed by them, the editor, or of the 12th) for example: I love recurring articles and sections like a real paper. We could have the Front Page Headline, the Diplomacy section, a fleet member's biography, Comics, 'other' Star Trek news, a role play article, monthly trivia/puzzles, and many others that would be recurring based on the feedback of the members. Those in charge of the headline and diplomacy sections could have an interview or two during the month with a non 12th Fleet member. Of course all sections would need to be edited and proofread by the Editor in Chief and approved by either you or the Admiralty before the edition is published.

Nishka did not support the making of a division or squad for this.. and after reading his reasoning I agree. I just wanted to say that if anyone needs help let me know. I think we would have an even better magazine if there was someone organizing (editor in chief or whatever) the contributors. There is a lot of excitement and willingness to help write future articles and it would just be nice for those who don't know what to write about to be given a topic to write on. I also think it is a good idea, as stated before, to have the magazine available in general chat so outsiders could read it should they choose.

Once again, thanks to all those that contributed to the premiere edition.
