I have mixed feelings about this idea, for example my browser crashed when I tried to open the second link. Granted I am on a low resource EEEPC but usually newsletters are for content and not much shine thats why we preffer text NL than HTML NL. However i do remember a proposal by a polish magazine about creating an OpenOffice.org magazine, the concept fade away but having the resource to come up wiht an OOo E-zine like the Mozilal E-Zine, Ubuntu E-Zine (Fullcircle), and even a REd Hat E-zine too (http://magazine.redhat.com/).
I am curious to know what this e-zine put in and how come they can come up with so much content. But if there are the team dedicated to bring this through I am all forward.
