Ask HN: What application would you create around "digital printing"?

If you had access to the NYT printing facility what application would you create around it?



See how many editors it really takes to turn bloggers' open content into a viable weekly magazine, nonprofit or otherwise.

In other words, reinvent the NYT or Newsweek, but start with zero employees and move up rather than starting with hundreds and struggling to figure out who to cut.

There are lots of smart bloggers writing things. There are, for at least the next thirty years, lots of relatively rich, politically connected people who grew up with print, prefer print, and instinctively trust print. I've always had a feeling that one should be able to make something out of that situation, and the NYT printers have the numbers I would need to do the math and see if it seems feasible.
