Hello fellow editors of KHWiki.com and The Keyhole alike!
As part of "MegaProject: Arise" (our new project that aims to re-establish a flourishing community), we've decided to revive the magazine and podcast ideas (see this and it's talk page)! this forum will be where the Keyhole and KHWiki.com can both discuss how we'll go about making them. Here's what we've decided already:
The magazine and podcast will be side-by-side with each complementing the other.
A new issue will be released every three months.
The magazine will be coded on the Wiki and the podcast will be in the form of an .ogg file.
The magazine will contain a cover, contents page, summary of what's been happening in KHWiki.com for the past three months, summary of what's been happening in The Keyhole for the past three months, KH news report and a page with a link to the podcast with perhaps a summary.
The magazine's focus will be the community and interactive pages.
The podcast will contain a KH news report, Wiki news report and fan discussions (e.g. theories, explanations, speculation etc.)
Side note: The topic of time travel will be a lengthy talk!
We still have yet to decide a number of things however! Here's what we need to figure out:
For the magazine: What pages should we have? Who can write the coding?
For the podcast: What other bits can it have? How long should it be? Who can take part in making it?

Here's the pages I think we should keep for the magazine, aside from the cover, contents, and three news pages (one for KH, two for both Wikis). Note that I don't think the magazine should include Featured Articles since they have their own dedicated sections on the Wiki anyway.
Special Editor Page: Topic and writer changes entirely from issue to issue (e.g. in one edition it could be a theory while in another, it could be an analysis of all Sora's costumes) FinalRest came up with this idea.
Dive to the Heart: FinalRest came up with an idea of a game tutorial and a wiki tutorial, however considering we have a Wiki's worth of information (and we even have walkthroughs now!) the game tutorial will be pointless. We should probably focus on the wiki tutorial (e.g. customising talk bubbles or different ways of linking)
Round Room: FinalRest's idea of a staff roundtable with quotations and dialogue between staff. What conversation topics could we have, though?
User Page (unnamed): FR's idea. It will contain a user interview (about what, we need to figure out), top 5 list (e.g. top five magic commands) and a review, which doesn't always have to be about games. We have other topics too like mangas, battle abilities and gameplay mechanics.
The Game Grid: FR's idea: place for puzzles and riddles. I think we could perhaps host competitions around them and give out accolades to the winner.
Interactive Page: FR's idea: it would have a mailbag and FR also had ideas of "5 tasks for khwiki.com", "5 tasks for the Keyhole" and "5 tasks for KH games". I don't entirely understand what those would be so perhaps we should replace it with a poll.
So what do you think guys? We need everyone's opinions and ideas so this project doesn't die out again!

I think for the Interactive Page, FR might have meant 5 tasks that we want users to do for the KHWiki, 5 tasks needed for the Keyhole, and 5 challenges to do in "X" game(s), where X is any or many of the Kingdom Hearts games. By the way, just thought we should have an area for people to sign-up for the magazine.

I was wondering what happened to this project. Maybe we could have a page (or fit somewhere on the page) with a user's fanart. (KH-universe related of course.) There would have to be a few rules in place, but if someone wants to submit a drawing of Sora or something, there could be a user that would take submissions through email, and put it in the appropriate dedicated section.
We could have a section that advertises The Mirage arena and The Underdrome, like "This weeks fights" and they could like to the arenas.
"The magazine will be coded on the Wiki and the podcast will be in the form of an .ogg file." By "the wiki" are you referring to khwiki.com, The Keyhole, or both?
"Who can write the coding?" Since the main structure is pretty much completed (from what I can tell) Different users can edit different pages. Perhaps a sign up list is in order if there isn't one already? (I feel like we did do this, but I can't remember ._.)
This was going to be released bimonthly correct?
I think that once things get going, this should be put on the site notice at the top of every page?
Why isn't this stickied? This seems rather important from what I can see.

"How long should it be?"
I'd say no more than an hour and a half, any longer than that then people would lose interest.
"Who can take part in making it?"
I'd say we have no more than 5 people per podcast, but if we get a lot of people sign up, then we could rotate the people in each podcast based on availability and/or interest of topic.
Would the be hosted over Skype, G+, or some other program?
