The reason the HTTP Server crowd didn't submit a story is probably simple: they are focussing on other things. Furthermore, the HTTP Server gets coverage via http://www.apacheweek.com/. > In this situation, can we say, > "The ASF members are caring for the whole benefits of foundation"?? I don't see how not contributing to a new initiative in the form of a newsletter is equivalent to not caring for the foundation. I find that implication quite insulting. > "The Apache Newsletter" is a good community process and gives > the whole benefits to the foundation. Why did not they > cooperate with me?

Bah. This really gives me a bad taste in my mouth. Without the efforts people put in, there would be _no_ news to report. Also, it's the members which nominate new members. Having someone decide on worthiness out of the blue doesn't sound right. > Also, I'll give an announcement > (=call) at members@ not community@ in the next time. Please no. That would probably be the only list I was on that you had missed in your prodding for contributions to the newsletter. Believe me, if there were people with reporting aspirations within the ASF, you've reached them. I personally think there are not that many around. Not surprising, since when you look at projects, the majority does not like writing documentation either.
