Did a name ever get chosen? The list has been narrowed and will be announced with the first issue. Which will be published as soon as we have enough articlesThere was a general call for articles and several personal email requests sent to potential contributors . ATM we have two submissions that need some editing ( they encompass a total of 14 pages with a 9 point font :-o). So if anyone out there would care to submit something, odds are it will be accepted. Hoping to keep the letter around 6 pages with 10 point type. Looking for news on conferences, lectures, symposia, and general flying stuff. Details on the latest release, perhaps some human interet stuff regards FG contributors/users might be interesting, and mulling over the idea of an editorial section. I guess it all depends on what shows up at the Editor's IN box. Regards John W. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

[Flightgear-devel] Newsletter
Hi, Just got back late this evening, but before crashing wanted to say thank you to Jonathan for taking the lead in finding a name for the newsletter and to all those who submitted suggestions. Just a quick comment... How about a name that is a little more poetic and captures the esssence and experience of flying. Some idea from High Flight by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr., an American serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force or The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery, lost in a P-38 somewhere off the coast of North Africa., or some other work or piece of literature on flying other than a tech manual... So put on those thinking caps and keep those cards and letters coming in. Okay, here is a rough outline for some possible sections/topics for the newsletter /** OPENING SECTION Scope, purpose, target audience, etc WORDS OF WISDOM ( from the chief cat-herder ) yada yada yada NOTES ON THE LATEST RELEASE Features, improvements, stats on downloads, hits, etc things fixed from previous releases bugs that became features ;-) stuff under development in latest CVS READERS SURVEY (a vehicle to gather feedback) 1) Type of OS 2) Level of Interest 3) How do you use FG? 4) How about network features? 5) Where would you like to see improvements/addtitions? 6) What about topics of interest, articles you would like to see FEATURED ARTICLE(S) conferences, FG applications, other TECH STUFF 1) How to do .. 2) How something works (from the desk of the author/inventor?) 3) nitty-gritty details EDITORIAL/OPINION (aka Letters to the Editor) chance for our readers to say a few words and express themselves; we'll need to keep the flames down HUMOR SECTION Funny flying stories, situations, jokes, etc ( personal or otherwise ) / JW ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
