I think something along the lines of Chris’ suggestion could work.

A Scottish-themed group blog could have multiple editors and contributors, so a range of people could bring different things to the table. Something along the lines of boingboing.net? That way the site can be even more comprehensive in terms of reporting on a wide range of topics, and could either allow detailed comment on a piece or simply serve as a link dump for a number of posts (like at marginalrevolution.com) usually happens at the moment.

3 or 4 folk looking to post 3-5 times a week could really serve as a showcase for all of the great Scottish blogging/writing/art/video/music on the web.

As I said before I’d be happy to be involved.

Thanks for the comment Chris — that’s a very interesting take! Definitely a good one to throw into the mix.

What does everyone else think?

No doubt this has been suggested, but I thought doing it as a collaborative effort could work, but appoint people in charge of different areas of interest as sub-editors. Each sub-editor could compile info from their area of knowledge, and do a better job than someone who writes in a different field, and produce a dossier for each Roundup. With each Roundup a different sub-editor could take the reigns and be editor for that piece, relying on each sub-editors notes and giving a slightly different perspective.
