Hi again :) I've made this template in the Wiki: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/playground/playground/newsletter_template I've read a couple of newsletters from other distro's .... Pheew !! It certainly demands a developers insight ! Anyway, my proposal is that the newsletter is divided in sections that are maintained by different volunteers. This way it should be easy to maintain, and easy to read. I don't know how to remove the first headline from the index in upper right corner, anyone ?? Another thing, I've been thinking about the numbering of the newsletter. Instead of starting with #1 in february (or #2) I think it would be best to number it after month+year like 309 for the month of march in year 2009 ?? So what do you think ?
