Hello Ahmed

Welcome here

I think this is a very nice idea. I also believe it was discussed (in this or 
similar form) in the past. Main problem is writing time/man-power.

Given the way the dot functions, I believe that the best way of going forward 
with your idea is to just put up some articles and collaborate with the 
editors for the polishing and the publication.
