I think this is a *great* idea and am willing to volunteer as a member of the newsletter team.
Cool. Great to hear.
I'm happy to "give it a go" and will let others judge my work. My time is rather limited at the moment but I believe I could make a useful contribution. I speak (and write) only English, I'm afraid, so I couldn't contribute to translations in any way.
As we should start in English, a native speaker could be a great help beside of contributing content also on spell checking, grammar and stuff.
In thinking about the format, I wonder if a blog-style format might be better than a regular newsletter. I say this only because a newsletter can be delayed solely because one item is not quite ready. I am the author and editor of the Frugalware Linux newsletter, so I have some experience in this area. For the moment I'll await further details and team members. :)
Well, I'm not sure how this could look like. Can you give a more detailed exampled?
Right now I started to put some content together into a LaTeX-file which will be compiled to PDF and plain text and send out later once its done.
Cheers, Frank
