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.
On newsletter.geany.org we would simply show the latest volume's HTML page directly and maybe a link on the bottom to the wiki page.
What do you think?
On a related topic, what if any useful HowTo, explanation, or plugin review that is destined for the newsletter *must* (should) be added to the wiki first. Then the new content from the wiki can be formatted into the newsletter proper (using proper markup, etc), probably having a link/ref back from the newsletter to the wiki. This way, the wiki is always benefiting from the relevant parts of the newsletter and even if reading an old newsletter issue, the current parts can be found on the wiki though links/refs embedded in the newsletter. Another benefit of this is that anyone can potentially contribute stuff to the newsletter without worrying about the markup/presentation of the newsletter. This is best left to specialists, IMO.
Just an idea.
