Not enough articles?
I wonder why people doesn't write ... it takes just a couple of hours to make a small article ....

because hugi sucks? :)
that sounds really desperate. why not wait until you got some quality articles, instead of stressing it with the deadline and all that.
dalezy: maybe because nobody sends nothing (absolutelly nothing) when you don't set a deadline. That happened to me with Obscurum (however that gave me time to re-write it under a new engine that rox :-)
no one writes eitherway (deadline or not)
i second reed and dalezy.
It's better to set deadlines for two reasons:
1. They motivate people to finish and submit their articles in time.
2. Every delay of an issue is a disappointment for the readers.
As said, we always accept articles until the very day on which the issue gets released; and any article that arrived after the release will be used in the next issue.

but still, if you don't get any contributions by the end of your deadline .. will you release it anyway at the given date?
@dalezy:
That's a rather hypothetical question because we always get articles until the deadline; what varies is only the number of articles. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less.
What also varies is the ratio between the sections: Sometimes we have more about coding, sometimes more about the scene in general, and so on. In the past, I've often been unhappy when the deadline was getting close and we still had only few articles for a particular section, so I spent hours on IRC asking people to write and submit some last-minute texts, and most of the time forced myself to write some, even if they were about topics I wasn't that interested in -- but meanwhile I've become accustomed to that the fact that a particular section may be rather weak in one issue and stronger in another issue.
I always need some time to finish the mag after the articles submission deadline, and during this period I still accept articles. The fact that the time I need for the finishing tasks is variable, is another reason why your question is a bit hypothetical: if we don't have enough articles for my taste, I simply invest more time in finishing the magazine (and write articles myself & organize last-minute contribs, etc.). :-)
