TubaNews.com does this very well already. I enjoy reading the dedicated articles there each edition. If anyone fills the TUBA niche in that regard it is TubaNews.

As far as a purpose for TUBA. They serve a purpose within the academic arena. Posting an article on TubeNet is going to do very little to gain anyone tenure at a university. A scholarly publication is an archive of research and many times opinion frozen in time. The also host conferences and especially in the past would commission new works.

TUBA is not dead, they just changed their name.

Because ITEA's Journal is a peer-reviewed publication, you can rely on what you read there as representing 'the party line', and usually the party line is as close to state of the art as is achievable at the time of the publication. In other words, yokels like me don't have the chance to confuse everybody else with their jabbering when the ITEA Journal is created. But this forum is open to everyone, and one thing regulars quickly learn is to not take everything posted here as gospel truth. You have to filter out a lot of noise sometimes in order to identify the nuggets that some very knowledgable posters deposit here.

In otherwords the signal to noise ration is much higher in a Journal than it is on a public forum like TubeNet. Yet there's much to be learned in both places. They are like apples and radishes, and I find each to be satisfyingly nourishing in their own way.
