Can we move discussions about newsletters to another mailing list?
I know I'm not alone in finding that while some here will be interested,
many aren't interested in assisting though will happily read the finished
results. Regrettable? Certainly.
Why not add a newsletter@ mailing list and those that feel they have
literary bones can join there and contribute towards the newsletters
production, then once it's ready and available it can be announced on
announce@ (and possibly here as well).
Life is too full of emails that can be considered spam already and I'd
rather not add to that pile with messages (however well intentioned) about
newsletters and the administration thereof.

Subject: [Apache Newsletter Draft] News from YOUR PROJECTS in July, 2003
Hello, All (community@ members!)
I am now preparing the 'The Apache Newsletter Issue 1',
the first ASF-wide-newsletter of July 2003, which will be published
in the middle of August 2003.
-- http://www.apache.org/newsletter/ --
This Apache Newsletter will be published as a result of the outgrowth
of the previous Jakarta Newsletter and Apache Newsletter can now
cover all the projects under apache.org including infrastructure,
incubator, xml, webservice, PHP, et cetra.
== WHAT WAS JAKARTA NEWSLETTER?? - http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/
'The Apache Newsletter Issue 1' will be appeared at
http://www.apache.org/newsletter/200307.html
and the editorial deadline will be 00:00 GMT, 9th August.
ApacheWiki (http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi) had
been already set up.
If you have anything to be added to the ApacheWiki, please go to
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheNewsletterDrafts/Issue1
and fill up what you want to append in.
If there's nothing news-worthy on your sub/projects, then please write
something you *hope* (e.g. XX project will release FINAL version of
XX product in the middle of August, etc etc).
If you have been voted in warmly as a new committer in ASF the
last month (July) please add your name to the list on ApacheWiki.
If your project really want some ADVERTISEMENT (to recruit
new comers, etc etc), please write nice and catchy blurb at the
advertisement section so that it will attract the readers'
attentions.
Probably, the former newsletter final draft and newsletter itself
(Jakarta Newsletter Issue 9)
will give you some hints in writing the articles.
