Hi Josh,

This is definitely a good idea.

The format the MySQL Newsletter (and others like the Mandrake
Newsletter, etc) seemed to be useful, with a short 1 sentence or 1
paragraph summary and an URL to the full article on the website.

We should probably also experiment with this kind of approach.  Perhaps
continuing with the Adventures in PostgreSQL series, and using that in
the newsletter in this fashion would be the best way or doing things?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Justin,

I will  commit to writing a monthly, or a shorter bi-weekly, column for a
newsletter.  I know that I haven't been keeping up the Adventures in
PostgreSQL on Techdocs; having a deadline would get me moving.

Good thanks, I am already looking forward to reading it ... and translating it to French.

Putting action next to verbs , I have already created

http://wiki.ael.be/index.php/PostgresqlAdvocacy

inside the wiki setup by the AEL, the Belgian association for the promotion of human rights in the information society, in fact working very much at the promotion of free software in Belgium.

So far the wiki is freely editable but this can be changed if you will : to edit, just click "edit" in the lower right corner.

I ahev already put some ideas that have circulated in the ML and another that I copy here:

* publish the newsletter with translations, just like ?MandrakeClub Newsletter and Brave GNU World (http://www.gnu.org/brave-gnu-world/) that can be reproduced freely in paper magazine, and allow for interedted people to subscribe in their language of choice (NicolasPettiaux, 31/10/2002 15:16)

I am ready to translate the document to French and I suppose I can find translator to Dutch.

Regards,

nicolas
