Picking up an old email (busy week)

Hi Andrew, you may be thinking of Flow. I have seen a reference to Flow
handling newsletters. We don't need Ed's permission to distribute the
Signpost but I agree that an opt-out option should be included in the
notification in a way that's easy for the user to select so that the
Signpost's talk pages aren't flooded with opt-out requests.
Steven, that's a great idea for wider visibility. Can you talk to the
right people to implement this notification, along with an opt-out feature,
forward compatibility with Flow, and the capacity to add other newsletters
such as Kurier or This Month in GLAM on any wiki that uses Echo?
Pine: nope, was definitely thinking of doing it within Echo - I just can't
remember who it was I talked to about this. It clearly didn't go anywhere,
though ;-)
I don't think we need permission to distribute any of the newsletters, but
it does seem to make obvious sense to talk to the people who currently
write/distribute them before we start planning details - it could well be
that there's something blindingly obvious about the way they distribute it
that we're missing and will cause pitfalls for us. I've been caught by
these before...
Andrew.
