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...
