My intention was to review/comment on all the items sold through Club Moral's STOCKLIST (SKL), including both Club Moral's own releases as well as soime distributed titles. But being a father of two left no time to go through with this project.
I don't know how shitty idea is the "public development", but basically that's what happened for some of the ideas I have had. Like starting topic such a "swedish supremacy", "new japanese industrial/noise" and such on noisefanatics, which I later started to develop further into possible article/feature in magazine. Not happened yet, but will. Same was with some of reviews in SI#1. They existed online as raw versions, which were updated to print worthy. Some users why wonder why some passages sounds as if they have read it before, but I wonder if it de-values any of the article.
Something like currently ongoing label overviews could be good as printed document. One old label per issue, or such. If people seem to get glimpse of how it will be on forum first, maybe it will be still worthy of inclusion, with additional artwork, possibly label boss comments on (each) releases, perhaps artists comments on their releases and so on. Sometimes just "public" brainstorming might help to kickstart projects and get honestly interested people involved.
As I mentioned before, I read the upcoming Broken flag article for ALAP (advantage of being contributor there as well). It's fucking massive. Each release of label is dealt with info of project, comment of publisher, comment of artist, and related stories from their perspective. Same thing about G.R.O.S.S., but with additional "consumer/journalist" reviews of material shouldn't be impossible. And in my opinion, whatever is done online now, wouldn't lower value of historical document on printed paper.
If Club Moral overview needs assistance from various contributors and too much to handle for one guy, as one would imagine proper reviews of dozens and dozens of items... I'm sure there are some solutions.
