In order to help us (a) communicate with a wider audience and (b) keep track of what's going on ourselves better, I am adding a space for weekly bulletins. These can be browsed here or copied (w/o modification, please) to the PM forums or elsewhere. I would like to propose that bulletins go into production by Friday at the latest and that they released to PM on Sunday. Anyone is free to contribute to a bulletin, and Users are requested to add a short summary of their activities on the wiki at some point. Friday afternoon before taking off for the weekend would work, for example, or late Saturday night if you're working here til the last possible minute. I will personally take responsibility for doing last minute editing and final delivery of bulletins to PM on Sunday.
Old bulletins will be archived here; further discussion of their contents should take place either on separate pages or in a separate "Discussion" section added below the original content.
New bulletin pages will be created when the old Bulletin is posted – except for this week, when the new bulletin page will be created NOW. Thus, if you wish to log your activities as you go, you'll be entirely free to do that.
Please do contribute to the bulletins, even it is something very brief! Longer articles are welcome too!
I think this is a great idea!! Looking at your draft of the first bulletin, I wonder if there is some way to use the revision history of the Wiki to generate a condensed summary of changes of the past week (after all, I do much the same thing every time I visit the Wiki and hit "recent changes"). Such a thing could bootstrap much of the bulletin. --akrowne Sun Apr 3 00:16:32 UTC 2005
