We could choose to become a “Cult of the ''[[Augustan Omnibus|Omnibus]]''”. To put all of our energies into the publication. Get it back to quarterly frequency, or more. Convince the membership that each of them has an obligation to fill at least one page per year. We could do it. We could certainly afford to publish it. With help, we could even keep up the scholarly standards, for some of it.
Or we could expand this to be a “Cult of Publications” more generally. Relaunch the Genealogy series, print ''[[Heraldry]]'', ''[[Chivalry]]'', and ''[[Royalty & Nobility]]''. Take back the ''[[ICI Members' Newsletter of the ICI|Members’ Newsletter of the International Chivalric InstituteMembers’ Newsletter]]'' and clone it for these other fields. In time, we might even be able to pay for articles, or better, editors. Create such a flurry of dead trees that none can deny our vibrancy.
Well, brave words for a group who cannot get out a 36-page magazine in less than ten months. Magazines are great tools for coordinating members’ efforts, reporting their successes, and celebrating our victories. But they cannot write themselves, and your pens grow dry.
