Hello everybody,

Maybe Torsten is just on an Easter holiday..? Mine has been canceled,
because of a broken down laptop (shit happens), so we might as well get on
with it.
I'd start making a page where it says what you can expect on the weekly
news site. This stuff, as Giridhar points out, should certainly be in it:

This can make up the so-called "fixed" section, it should be easy to get a
new item in every week.

I'd suggest to put this in as it comes, because it might not be such a
regular item.

Yes, the new things are worth mentioning in a weekly news page, maybe in a
separate section?

Anybody volunteering for this?

That'll be monthly news then, or yearly? :) Anybody who knows about press
coverage about tldp in their country/on a website/in a magazine, tell us!

I agree with Greg on XML, it is most versatile.
About the interviews with the writers, maybe we can keep that subject for
when the others are temporarily not updateable :)
We'll have our hands full as it is; it is clear that you have thought this
over but indeed some effort will be required to get us rolling (again).
Giridhar, shall we make a draft of a weekly news page, post it here, see
what everybody says and work from there?
Tille.
