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.
