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.Harry MitchellPhone: 024 7698 0977Skype: harry_j_mitchell
