Re: [development] [drupal.org] big link on the front page
That's a good point, I'm going to try to get a few editors together to make a sustainable Drupal.org newsletter. Interested in being a part of that team? For that matter....sorry for the cross-post, but does anyone that gets this email want to be involved in a better Drupal newsletter? It would literally only take an hour of your time per month.

Im a great beleiver in Drupal and its community. So I feel that having a big link on the front page to a newsletter that seems to be a year old seems a big shame. I might be missing something but if it isnt regularly updated (monthly?) shouldnt we remove the section from the front page?
Regards
Joe

Robin, I've been thinking the same thing and would love to help with my limited time. Do tell. - Addi (add1sun) On May 14, 2007, at 5:59 PM, Robin Monks wrote:

Hey Addison! Great to hear from you! What would you be most interested in doing? Tutorials, tips, interviews, etc are always more than welcome, but did you have something specific in mind? Talk to you soon! Robin On 5/14/07, Addison Berry <addi@rocktreesky.com> wrote:

This sounds like a great idea, especially if we can get a number of people involved so that it isn't totally reliant on the schedules of a few select people. I'd be interested in helping out/contributing as well, but availability varies from month to month. Kudos on getting this rolling. William On 5/15/07, Robin Monks <robin@civicspacelabs.org> wrote:

Robin, I'm _very_ interested in helping with the newsletter. I've been casting about for how I'm best suited to contribute back to Drupal (it's like choosing a major in college) and given that I majored in English Literature (yeah, I finally picked one) with an emphasis on creative writing, the newsletter sounds like a great opportunity. Tutorials, tips, interviews - I'd be up for tackling any of those. As the administrator of a 60+ multi-site install of Drupal (with only myself and one other person managing the technical aspects of the operation), I'm particularly interested in the subject of change management for Drupal sites, and feel that subject, because of the requisite 10,000 foot view one must take, would fit well with a periodic publication. In other words, discussion of trends, tips for how to stay current, tutorials on how to migrate content/functionality between Drupal versions, how to pick a module that won't be dead in 6 months, etc. I don't see a newsletter group on g.d.o. Perhaps we need one?

SimonP ended up creating one.... http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-newsletter Offline, I had suggested to Robin that wiki pages on groups.drupal.org might be used to gather story ideas etc. Let's move the discussion to that group and off this dev list :P -- Boris Mann Office 604-682-2889 Skype borismann http://www.bryght.com
