Jon Berndt puts together a really nice quarterly news letter for the JSBSim project. Here is the first edition:

There is a *lot* of things going on with the FlightGear project at various levels and it would be nice to have a monthly or quarterly summary in newsletter form for ourselves too.


Along with interesting news and developments, this could be a great venue for posting various tutorials (scenery building, aircraft building, networking/interfacing, multiple displays, etc.) reports from people using FG for interesting applications, interviews with developers, reports from conferences or expos we attend, and maybe a few of my own insane rantings on wide ranging topics loosely related to computers or simulators.

However, to make something like this work, we would need a creative and dedicated volunteer who would be willing to take this project on and be willing to put in the effort to push out each issue on time. Duties would involve assembling the information in a nice form (perhaps a pdf newsletter format, or perhaps a nice html online newsletter?) This person would need to go out and drum up participants and contributing authors, and probably pester them once in a while to finish their submissions on time. This person would probably need to jump in and write an article or two themselves to pad space.

If anyone is interested in helping out the FG project in such a way, please let me know. We average over 4000 visits to the FG web site daily so this could be a great outlet for someone's creative abilities.

Thanks,

Curt.
