Information for a newsletter

[OnslaughtQ]

I would like to make clear that the job of a newsletter would most likely be the responsibility of the Guild Councilor of Communications/PR. However, I am anticipating this need and going to request information now, so, whomever the GCC/PR is later, will be able to use it.
I am, at this point, predicting a full newsletter to be published on our site, and a newsletter lite to be given to the GoMe for them to distribute via Ki news.
The full newsletter would include information about the various Age projects, the status /features of PyPRP, and information on the various tools we are using, to include user tips and hints for Blender3d, Audacity, Photoshop, Gimp, etc. The newsletter lite would highlight the Ages and possibly include the user tips for the various programs as well.

With that, I'd like to see in this discussion a few sentences from everyone about various work that you're doing (or a link to a summary thread like the Ahra Pahts updates). If you're working on an Age project with a specific team, please list those team members. If you're working on a personal Age and would like it mentioned, do so. Pictures would also be welcome for any Age project. If you're not directly involved with a project, but are still reading the Blender3d tutorial or learning some other aspect of Age design, mention that as well. If you'd like to request help for your projects, post it here with possibly a link to your help request in another thread if there is one. If you have any helpful advice for learning any of the tools, or for more experienced users, post that.

So, on with the posting and may the GCC/PR find this information useful.

Tips for Guild Newsletters are to use the same Ki Mail you send to your Guild Members for them to stay informed... if you do have one. The Maintainers are doing that so they don't need to create and update 2 different Ki Mails. If the information is good enough for your members, it's good enough for people who are interested in your Guild. Remember that it will be send only to those who ask for it or for the "5 guilds package" so they should already have an interest in what you're doing... no need to dumb things down
Make sure it's updatable, people hate having to get a new Ki mail every time there's an updated one.
When it will be ready, you can send it to me I'm also the "distributor" of the Cavern Criers.

If you have any questions or comments, I'm here to help.
