Lack of content and poorly written or incorrect articles are often
justified by the GWN team on grounds of overwork and insufficient
manpower. When I asked why they were not recruiting, I was informed that
no-one has any interest in contributing.
There's a big difference between one-off articles and continuous
contribution. Also those that I found most willing to contribute had the
biggest language problems - what we need is support from the native
speakers.
Have the GWN posted to -core in a sane time period prior to it's
release. I seriously doubt anyone cares about whether the publication
is always "on time" (whatever that may be). If it's a bi-weekly
publication it doesn't always have to go out on the same day, as long as
you get it out in the general time period. I sometimes respond with
corrections/additions but they never make it because it is released
before my mail is sent. Often when I see the core mail I don't even
bother reading it since by looking at the timestamp I can guess it's
already been mailed.
