Indeed. Delivery is relatively easy - there are several bots on various wikis
already dedicated to delivering various newsletters.
What I'd really like to see is a newsletter for the UK community and not just
the chapter, which the current reports cover to an extent. Having such a
newsletter delivered in a Signpost-style format every month could go a long way
towards getting more people involved and increasing the profile/understanding
of the chapter among the editing communities.
