Welcome!
Hello,, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Help pages
 * Help:Getting Started
 * What the ISFDB Wiki is for
 * ISFDB FAQ
 * Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.
 * Wiki Conventions - How things are usually done on this wiki.
 * Help:How to upload images to the ISFDB wiki

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~&#126;); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Mhhutchins 18:38, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Kasma Science Fiction Magazine
Currently, most web-based non-downloadable magazines are not eligible for inclusion in the database. There are a few exceptions, only about three or four, most of which are recognized by SFWA as paying markets. They include Clarkesworld, Strange Horizons, and Subterranean Online. If the issues are downloadable in various ebook editions (pdf, kindle, epub, etc.) it does qualify for inclusion in the database regardless of its status in the field. Looking at the Kasma website, it appears that the stories are not organized into issues, and that they're not downloadable for ebook readers. Our criteria for the inclusion of web-based magazines is determined more on stability than the quality of the work, and few websites have been able to achieve the status of the ones that have been included in the ISFDB.
