I asked myself this question more than once. The main reason for a
Magnolia newsletter module would definitely be: "Simple is beautiful".
I want a simple system for our users - maybe not featuring all the
bells and whistles of emarys.com & competitors. They should only have
to deal with one tool. There should be one place where the user info
is stored. The users should eventually be able to create their news
once (in Magnolia) and have it display on the website _and_ mailed out
to the recipients.
I was hoping to find a mature open source newsletter tool that one
could integrate into magnolia (like openwfe is integrated).
Unfortunately I have not found anything that made me jump into it.
Descriptions like "...OpenEMM is mainly written in Java and Python and
employs leading edge Java frameworks like Hibernate, Spring and
Struts. Some performance-sensitive code is written in C." give me the
shivers! ;-)
But for the enterprise market, I'm sure a professional tool is better
suited for the task.

Is magnolia really the right system for distributing newsletters? I
can see the authoring aspect of magnolia being handy but the send/
track/report part? There are other tools out there that do that
already such as http://www.openemm.org/

I know, I know... we're still working on cleaning up our shop
module prototype so the code can be added to the Magnolia
environment (Thanks Boris for the invitation!), and here we are
proposing already the next big chunk of work. But hey... we need
it. And instead of again building a newsletter mechanism for a
specific customer why not try to create something open, something
flexible, something that might cover more than just that one
customers needs?
So here we go again - it's only a proposal, it has not even been
proofread, but I'm more than happy to receive your feedback as
early as possible. And if anyone out there is interested in joining
the development: Please do!
