On the issue of format - I thought I'd throw in my 2c (well maybe closer to 1.5c actually)...
Picking up a theme from other threads - not every climber in Aus is a regular internet user, and even some of those that are would prefer to read something in hard copy while at the crag, on the bus, at home etc (like me). I'm not suggesting publishing it on postit notes in the pines toilet, but keeping its primary form one that is printed (or printable) is probably a good idea. (so a pdf works well)
Bear in mind also that there are dozens of climbing websites out there - and going down that path would likely just add another to the many, and would make it hard to actually distinguish Carrot (or whatever it ends up being called) from the rest. Of course having a website that is associated with the 'zine is a good idea, but keeping the primary version printed makes sense I think.
Also, for the purposes of increasing circulation - you might try printing a few (could just be in black and white to keep costs down) and leaving them in climbing shops. Easy to get someone to do this in each city around OZ. We started to do this with the climbing club of SA newsletter for a while - but as not many people other than club members are interested it never really took off.
I don't know much about the technical aspects of this - but i'd be happy to contribute the odd bit of info about what's going on in SA/Moonarie etc, and a few photos, if that'd be useful.
