So you know about every little village in Japan aswell?

You didn't need to write anything, you wanted to write something.

The reason the HTTP Server crowd didn't submit a story is probably
simple: they are focussing on other things.  Furthermore, the
HTTP Server gets coverage via http://www.apacheweek.com/.

I don't see how not contributing to a new initiative in the form
of a newsletter is equivalent to not caring for the foundation.
I find that implication quite insulting.

Bah.  This really gives me a bad taste in my mouth.  Without the
efforts people put in, there would be _no_ news to report.

Also, it's the members which nominate new members.  Having someone
decide on worthiness out of the blue doesn't sound right.

Please no.  That would probably be the only list I was on that
you had missed in your prodding for contributions to the newsletter.
Believe me, if there were people with reporting aspirations within
the ASF, you've reached them.  I personally think there are not
that many around.  Not surprising, since when you look at projects,
the majority does not like writing documentation either.
