suggestion box for the Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News

[marlowe]

What items should be regularly included in the Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News? Is there anything we should change about the way we are doing it now?

[zooko]

I suggest putting these things into a footer. Something like this (in restructuredtext):

----

The Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News is published once a week by The Tahoe-LAFS Foundation. Scribe: Patrick Marlowe McDonald, Editor: Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn. To view on the web: the `wiki page`_. To subscribe via email: the `mailing list`_ page.

.. _`wiki page`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/TahoeLAFSWeeklyNews
.. _`mailing list`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-lafs-weekly-news

I guess we should put the datestamp in the header next to the edition number.

I updated the template in comment:3 to include all the things that we put in ​TWN4.

We like for tickets to be closable. How do we make this one closable? How about we put a time limit on this ticket. You have one month to submit your suggestions for TWN and let your suggestions have an influence on the formative first few editions of the Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News. After July is over we'll close this ticket and if you still want to give us feedback to us you'll have to open a new ticket or send email or something.

[davidsarah]

Should we close this now?

[marlowe]

Good to close now.
