Hi,
what do you wiki and newsletter guys think of the following idea:
we move most of the current content of http://newsletter.geany.org/ into the wiki, for testing purpose, I already did it (please note this is just for testing and to get your feedback).
In the wiki the latest volumes are linked, the newsletter files themselves remain on newsletter.g.o.
I definitely see the advantage for having such informations also in the wiki, but I don't see why we should remove informations from newsletter.geany.org.
By cleaning up newsletter.geany.org we could use the current newsletter issue as index page for the site which I think would be cool. If you really want, we could add some kind of footer (or a small header) to link to the Wiki as well as the autogenerated index page. So, users can just point their browser to newsletter.geany.org and always get the latest newsletter issue presented without any further clicks.
From perspective of a user who is searching for old volumes of the Newsletter, I'd go to newsletter.geany.org and be frustrated if I was not able to find them there. I'd never come to the thought to search in the wiki for that.
Maybe. This could be solved by a header or footer, see above.
From my technical and rational point of view: The listing with the newsletter volumes is generated automatically. The list in the wiki has to be maintained manually. Well...see my point? ;)
Not at all. Making a new newsletter issue is always manual work, this is not an automated process and so I think adding a line which is mostly copy&paste in the wiki, isn't the worst thing ever. Whatever, I'd happy to do this if it seems like a hard task.
