Re: [translations] Translating the Drupal Newsletter
The hope would be that we could create all the translations around the same time, and release them all as soon after the English version as possible.
I'd love to discuss this further, if any of you are interested, let me know.
Since I'm the newsletter editor on drupal.be, I'll take care of the Dutch translation. Dries Knapen

Certainly, I'll add you to the draft list as well. Does drupal.be also have their own newsletter? Robin Dries Knapen

Thanks. Yes, drupal.be has its own newsletter, or that's the idea at least. We enabled simplenews on drupal.be about two months ago, and we were now waiting until we had anough subscriptions to send out a first issue. I was thinking of sending the first issue within a few weeks. We wanted to include (and translate) some of the items of the drupal.org newsletter, and in addition to that, the plan was to include some extra items that are only relevant for Belgium and the Netherlands. So my idea would be that I translate the drupal.org newsletter, add some more region-specific topics, and send that newsletter through simplenews on drupal.be to the subscribers of the drupal.be newsletter. A link to that issue could then be included in the drupal.org newsletter, so people subscribed on drupal.org can find their way to drupal.be. Obviously, the simplenews node on drupal.be would be created before the drupal.org newsletter is sent, but only _published_ online afterwards, since I think that the "main" newsletter should have the scoop. How does that sound?

Sounds perfect! As I had mentioned in a post above, each translation should include what's relevant for that region, I'm glad to hear the the drupal.be community is expanding. Best of luck, Robin _______________________________________________
