I was having this thought, so I thought I'd throw it out there. What would people think of having a support group of sorts for e-publishers? I'm thinking primarily PDF-related products, but any e-products could work. Here's what I'm talking about.
A number of us produce PDFs for online consumption (some charge, some are free). But it might be nice to have other publishers (editors, layout designers, artist, etc.) look at each others products and offer comments, advice, etc.
As an example. I currently product a monthly e-zine. It's not an RPG product, but it's fantasy-related (stories, articles, etc.). We currently have a subscription base over 1000 and each issue is read roughly that many time, and that number grows each month. I've changed the look of the e-zine a couple times, but I'm always looking for ways to make it look better. Who better to help than other publishers? And I would be willing to do the same. My e-zine is currently free, btw.
This is just an initial thought, and I don't know if it would work. Some may be uncomfortable letting others have copies of a product that is to be sold. Others may be fine with it. I wanted to toss out the idea, though.
The goal, of course, would be for all us e-publishers to be able to share tips on layout, editing, publishing tools, marketing, etc.

There are probably other limitations that would have to be places on a group like this.
