Since Dave already volunteered to tackle this and seems to be the perfect person to do so given his
knowledge, I'm taking a step back. I'm there if any help is needed.

What exactly do you have in mind? Just a simple tool that fetches an RSS

formatting?
Well in my dream world I'd love something that gave us a magazine layout
without anyone having to do anything.
In the real world something that pulled the teaser content of each of
the appropriate blogs (i.e. those tagged as needing to be in the
newsletter) and put it into a text document that gets committed to SVN
and emailed to appropriate lists would do just fine to get us started.
We might, at a later date, want to think about some kind of editorial
workflow. But lets not get complex right now, lets trust people to know
what is important enough for a newsletter and what is not.

Right. I keep forgetting blog posts. It's possible to create
newsletters from them too (something like add a tag to include it in
the newsletter).
Now if only there were someone lurking on the comdev list looking for
a way to contribute to the ASF, some kind of RSS to newsletter thing
would be great (a manual process would do to start with), I'd mentor
that.

Or blog post...labs can easily get a blog under
