Maybe hire one of the better soaring journals to produce an SSA

In Germany, we have "segelfliegen", which is the only German speaking
gliding magazine. Starting October 2011, we tried to establish an
international online-edition in English with some new articles and some
translated articles from the German edition. (I tried to announce this
in the forum but was banned for doing so... I'll try it again:
http://www.segelfliegen-international.com - oh, I just found out that
the english eMag is not available anymore :-( )

However, we had to end our "experiment" last August due to lack of
readers after just four issues. There have been talks with the SSA about
us printing the international edition with a dedicated SSA part, but as
far as I know, the SSA did not really know what they wanted.

Chief Editor of "segelfliegen"


I read an issue or two, and thought the online interface was pretty bad.
Good content, though.
