Hey there Andy, A newsletter would be a very good idea. I'd be keen to contribute, in one form or another...
Andy mate, I totally agree on your comments re: fg-users list. It is a very quiet list, but perhaps that is because there are not that many users who aren't developers? The risk is that the project becomes so developer centric that potential users turn away to other more user friendly projects. Anyway, good to see you're still on the list. How is NZ? Have you had much chance to do scenery improvements over there? I've managed to get terragear running, so might be able to help out fellow Australasians to finish building their scenery improvements. Kind regards, Chris W, YBBN/BNE. --- On Fri, 26/6/09, Andrew Gorman <andrew.gor...@xtra.co.nz> wrote: > From: Andrew Gorman <andrew.gor...@xtra.co.nz> > Subject: Re: [Flightgear-users] FlightGear Newsletter July 2009 > To: "FlightGear user discussions" <flightgear-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Received: Friday, 26 June, 2009, 8:20 AM > Hi Stuart, > > this is a fantaastic idea and am very glad you have taken > on the role. > Please dont stop posting to the -users list....its the only > one I read > regarding FG as Im not really a fourms type person. > > Keep up the great work and I might even contribute where I > can :) > > Slainte, > > Andy > NZCH > > > > > > > Hi All, > > > > Curt recently posted to the Forum > > (http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5201) > regarding > > creating a FlightGear Newsletter.
