I can't find any evidence that they've acquired or licensed the name / trademarks from Ziff Davis, the last known holder of Compute's IP, so I would be wary of giving them any money.

Also the content gives off strong AI vibes

I want it to be true. There's really not much information out there on it or the CEO that I can find.

My first question was if there's was enough retro material for a monthly.

Edwin Nagle here. I believe there's definitely enough material to support a monthly, especially with a focus on the general retro community rather than solely on C64/128.

I agree with that.

Why GAZETTE rather than just COMPUTE! ?

Big fan of the project here BTW.

Thanks! I originally was going to just call it Compute but I resonated more with Compute!'s Gazette from my own personal experience and it's going to be all brand new content anyway. Plus, I like the idea of a "gazette" and it just seemed to fit. Personal preference I guess.

Who are the authors for the content of the first month's issue? The articles on the site don't list an author, which makes me think it's all written by Edwin Nagle, which makes me wonder if anyone else will contribute to the monthly issues.

That makes sense. No judgement here, just me wondering.
