Can we move discussions about newsletters to another mailing list? I know I'm not alone in finding that while some here will be interested, many aren't interested in assisting though will happily read the finished results. Regrettable? Certainly.
Why not add a newsletter@ mailing list and those that feel they have literary bones can join there and contribute towards the newsletters production, then once it's ready and available it can be announced on announce@ (and possibly here as well). Life is too full of emails that can be considered spam already and I'd rather not add to that pile with messages (however well intentioned) about newsletters and the administration thereof. david ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tetsuya Kitahata" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 9:23 AM Subject: [Apache Newsletter Draft] News from YOUR PROJECTS in July, 2003 > > Hello, All (community@ members!) > > > I am now preparing the 'The Apache Newsletter Issue 1', > the first ASF-wide-newsletter of July 2003, which will be published > in the middle of August 2003. > -- http://www.apache.org/newsletter/ -- > > This "Apache Newsletter" will be published as a result of the outgrowth > of the previous "Jakarta Newsletter" and "Apache Newsletter" can now > cover all the projects under apache.org including infrastructure, > incubator, xml, webservice, PHP, et cetra. > > > == WHAT WAS JAKARTA NEWSLETTER?? - http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/ > > > 'The Apache Newsletter Issue 1' will be appeared at > http://www.apache.org/newsletter/200307.html > and the editorial deadline will be 00:00 GMT, 9th August. > > ApacheWiki (http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi) had > been already set up. > If you have anything to be added to the ApacheWiki, please go to > http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheNewsletterDrafts/Issue1 > and fill up what you want to append in. > If there's nothing news-worthy on your sub/projects, then please write > something you *hope* (e.g. XX project will release FINAL version of > XX product in the middle of August, etc etc). > > If you have been voted in warmly as a new committer in ASF the > last month (July) please add your name to the list on ApacheWiki. > > If your project really want some "ADVERTISEMENT" (to recruit > new comers, etc etc), please write nice and catchy blurb at the > "advertisement" section so that it will attract the readers' > attentions. > > Probably, the former newsletter final draft and newsletter itself > (Jakarta Newsletter Issue 9) > will give you some hints in writing the articles. > cf. > http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JakartaNewsletterDrafts/Issue9 > http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/200305.html > > If you have any questions about this, please send your messages to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] or this mailing list. > > This Newsletter will be published as webpage and be announced > at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the ASF-wide announcement list) > To subscribe to [email protected], > please follow this instruction: > http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-announce > > > Hope to hear from many ASF projects!! > (If you feel hesitation in writing articles on ApacheWiki, please > write your memo in this community@ mailing list or give me a note). > http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheNewsletterDrafts/Issue1 > > Sincerely, > > > -- Tetsuya Kitahata ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > > > P.S.
