This is awesome. I intentionally have little to say on the
content proper because of the considerations that follow.
1. As one who led similar efforts (magazine columns etc) I
concur that this is a marathon more than a jog.
2. Because of that, make sure whatever you do you get
satisfaction from it. That means enjoying freedom to choose
content and format etc. Do it the way it pleases you, of course
with feedback from the community since you'll derive a good
fraction of your enjoyment from the positive feedback.
3. Choose a pace that works for you, and try to keep it.
4. Accept contributions and contributors, but try to give the
newsletter personality by writing it in your "voice".

Best advice I've read in years! Could easily be applied to any
new undertaking.
