History of Grex? Planned upgrades? A wish list for the system?

If the newsletter is paper (not electrons), a picture of the dungeon, or
maybe diagram of the layout, might be interesting. Also, maybe some stats,
in the style of the Harper's Index in Harper's Magazine, if you're
familiar with that...examples might be "number of new users this month,"
"most voluminous item in agora/coop," "most often-connected user," trivia
like that. And maybe some well-chosen (brief) excerpt(s) from party or
the confs...Compuserve Magazine usually has a quarter page per issue like
that; looks like easy writing when writer's block sets in! :)

(Uh, is there a reason why such pictures or diagrams couldn't be
included in the electronic version of the newsletter?)

No, but I haven't seen a lot of multimedia Grex docs. Adobe Acrobat or
HTML would both require downloading for a local viewer (since httpd doesn't
send pix). Such distribution would probably reduce readership a fair amount.

The newsletter should "stand on its own" distributed just with e-mail,
but its other incarnations, in HTML or on paper, could be more elaborate.
What's important, of course, is the *information*. Perhaps there could
be the "Sunday Supplement" for those that can view pictures on line,
and for the paper edition. There are a lot of possibilities here - but
I would suggest that the newsletter begin modestly while the possibilities
are being considered, rather than have the possibilities being obstacles
that delay starting the newsletter.

So is this all moot, now? Has there been a first edition, yet?
