I had sent the last one out on the first Tuesday of the month, which happened to be the 5th last month. I'd recommend following a similar pattern as that will avoid weekends. For some months, this may need to be adjusted for holidays. To me, one of the purposes of this exercise is to see if someone other than the usual hyper-volunteers steps up, so I won't be sending the email. But I am a moderator for that list, and if I see content that matches the wiki page in the moderation queue this week, I will approve it. Whether the person sending it is an ASF member or not won't affect whether or not I approve the content. - Sam Ruby > Thank ya > > On Mon, May 2, 2022 at 9:21 AM Rich Bowen <rbo...@rcbowen.com> wrote: > > > The last one we sent, Sam sent directly to the members-notify list - > > which does, indeed, need to be done by a member. > > > > I've added one more (member-specific) item to the highlights.
