Thanks for responding. Every contribution and criticism will be welcome. As regards the schedule, i believe a weekly timeline is more appropriate due to the statistics part of the newsletter. However, the important part is to get it done regardless of the timeline. I guess once in two weeks may be acceptable but monthly is a bit off for a distro newsletter. Also should I cc -project and -gmn about the issue? Where to look for the guidelines on how to proceed and even if its possible to revert the GMN --> GWN? -- Thanks & Regards, Man Shankar <man.ee.gen(at)gmail.com>
