Still I will keep trying...:D.

Anyway, a few more comments I forgot in my previous mail:

- I think the newsletter mail should be cross-posted to the geany-devel
and geany-i18n list as well

- it should be announced as news on www.geany.org with a reference to
newsletter.geany.org

- on newsletter.geany.org there should be some content :D

- Thanks for your efforts on this!

Regards,
Enrico
