Shiju,
How are you going to host the newsletter. Are you going to link it to
WIkipedia India project or will it be on meta? I suggest providing a simple
wiki interface as well as pdf version.
Regards
Arjun

an official Wikimedia newsletter? (seeing that it
is titled "Wikimedia India
Newsletter"). Given that Wikimedia official newsletters are brought in a
slightly different manner (

ideas and objective behind the planned newsletter so that it brings more
clarity to the contributors?
Sure. The aim is to share the community news of the various Indian Language
Wiki communities. As you can see from the PDF that I shared with you,
several languages already provided the community News. So requesting Kannada
wiki community also to be part of this.
It is the community newsletter. So I think it is better to name it as *WikiMedia
India Community* News Letter. I will change like that.
Once the chapter is formed, chapter can think about taking this forward
from the next version of the News letter.
Also observed that the draft of the newsletter I've received is crashing
though on evince viewer (on debian lenny). It
could be useful if you could
share details about the software used to create the PDF. Probably Inkscape
pros from the community could help? :)
Typesetting is done using Open Office writer. It is still going on. I have
enabled *Commenting using Adobe Reader *feature in the PDF that I sent to
you. That might be the reason why it is crashed. I will send you a normal
PDF soon.
