Hi gang,

ARTICLES
I'd like to do an article for MWS about using Midgard in an intranet or for
groupware, timesheets, etc. If you've got a solution that you'd like to
share, we could introduce your code and briefly describe implementation.
This story could follow the style of the David Guerizec's PageLinks
article.

CONCERNS
Upon taking responsibility for writing and publishing the MWS, I
immediately redesigned the news letter to include news reports. I am
concerned that this strategy might not be working as well as it should for
several reasons:
*people may not be comfortable being interviewed and quoted
*reliance upon a small group of developers to build articles
*lack of time to write stories

While a news report style should provide interesting reading, it requires
a fair amount of time to identify a story, conduct interviews, write and
finally publish stories. These challanges combined with my reliance on a
small group of developers can result in my bothering the same people more
often than I should. I'm also missing news worthy stories because I don't
know what people are doing.

These issues concerned, I'm trying to redesign MWS again. Possibilities 
 include; eliminate news reports, change from weekly publication to
biweekly, improve my effort to let people know that their efforts and
solutions are good news leads. Find other contributers that are interested
in writing articles.

My objective is to produce the best possible news letter so please don't
hesitate to express opinions or volunteer to contribute. Incidentally,
I've observed where MWS has been read up to 350 times on a couple of the
sites where we're published. In my opinion, the effort to improve our news
letter is definitely justified.

Thank You

Ron Parker
MWS
