That's how I understood your proposal, Matthew, and I think it's a good idea. The newsletter should be published in its original format for future reference. However the content which has a useful life past the publication date of the newsletter certainly could and I think *should* be in the wiki.
The benefit of this approach is:
- HowTo information is highlighted in the newsletter and is easily
read and understood;
- Anyone who can edit the wiki is able to contribute to the
newsletter; * Useful reference information remains in the wiki, to be added to and enhanced over time.
I currently write the newsletter of Frugalware Linux. Over the few years I've been writing, I have written some things which are still useful reference information. However they're contained in the newsletter, not the wiki and so not easily found, nor edited. Putting this information first into the wiki would have avoided this problem.
+1 Agree with all you said.

I'm amazed that (1) people understood what I wrote, (2) that two people agree with what I wrote.
