Hi Anmol, The reason for keeping the newsletter pages separate from the main website is for archiving purposes. This way we can provide easy archiving of clean HTML for people who would like to have offline access to the newsletter in the future. As for making it look the same, we could employ some fancy CSS to make it look like the main website, but we would rather go for simplicity and readability for now.
I am currently working on providing PDF versions of the newsletter but it will not be available immediately. I write the newsletter directly in HTML in emacs so it is a little harder to move it over to PDF. Perhaps in the future, I can make use of typesetting toolkits like LaTeX (my experience with it is scanty at best). As for including news about FOSS, I think it's a great idea, but considering that right now the team for the newsletter is quite small and we are mostly outdated on the news front due to our work loads, it is difficult to maintain. If you would be willing to submit an article every month with the latest updates, we would be more than happy to include it :-) On another note, did you enjoy the articles in the newsletter? The more feedback we receive, the better the articles will be! Regards Manohar On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 3:26 PM, Anmol Sharma <[email protected]> wrote: > Great!
