Oh, another idea I don't think I mentioned yet...once we have a bunch of
spec documents completed for Edgy, we can pick one out each week and have
the author write a short introduction to it for the newsletter.

Mark has also proposed that we could organize a chat session on IRC along
similar lines, giving the community at large a chance to talk with the
relevant developers about the projects they're working on.  We could
announce these sessions via the newsletter along with the highlights.

Great (continuing) work on UWN!
