0: Call it "On the Half Shell"
1: Ideally the editor should be someone who:
a. Is familiar with perl's history and "culture".
b. Has time.
Does this person really exist?
2: It should probably be quarterly.
3: You might want to talk to the GNU
folks about logistics. They do a paper/electronic newsletter.
4: Regular features should probably include:
A "what's new" like section that would highlight current
development and ideas but not really focus on anything.
A focus on ONE new feature or package.
Some kind of philosophical column that talks about an aspect
of the language and why it should or shouldn't be the way it
is (like a discussion of why modules and DynaLoader are
important for future development).
5: External sponsorship is a three-edged sword. Let me talk to my
company about this before I answer that question ;-)
