The ROS Wiki Mentions you need volunteers...

[TwoTailedFox]

I was looking at the Wiki's "New Homepage Content", and it mentioned
you needed volunteers, to scan the mailing lists, etc, for a useful
end-of-week Newsletter.

Well, I'd like to volunteer. I use Gmail to subscribe to The ROS and
VLC lists, and it presents Emails as Conversations, minimising search
time for specific parts of an email. That, and I religiously digest
what I can, both on ROS, ROS-Dev, and the ROS-Dev SVN Commits.

I'd like to do something to help contribute to ReactOS, and a Weekly
Newsletter sounds quite appealing. I've done the odd article for a few
IRL ones, so this is hopefully taking the next logical step.

I've got a good grasp of English (Or so I'd like to think, but I swear
the typo demon is about to leap out of my keyboard, and remove an "e"
when I least expect it...), and good English is an excellent way to
tell a user, "Wow, these guys aren't just another amateur batch of
programmers!"

So.. yeah, consider me Vounteered.

I think it would be great to have a periodical news update of some sort. If
you need space on the website or something like that please contact me so we
can work something out.

The wiki demands a login, which I don't have...

0.2.8 would be the Ideal launch platform for it.

I'm not sure what you actually mean by "Space on the website"...

What
about restarting splash back up, or renaming it for a fresh start.

We can have people come up with names for the Newsletter, maybe?

Such as "ReactOS Weekly" or even, "React to this news!"

I know I'm a bit late with this reply, but how about "Reactions".
