        Good.. where do we get the Q's from?

We could ask staff what questions they are asked most frequently, or we could
start an item for the answering of questions, or select a columnist to whom
questions could be sent, or we could come up with questions OURSELVES that WE
would like answered, research the answers, and put Q&A in the newsleter or...

new idea
how about an interview
section
an interview with a new grex administrator
each month oops i ment staff member
they can share their views of the system
and what they would
like to see it become
about my previous idea
we could put a faq section
in the newsletter to take
the headache of repeated questions
to helpers
please tell me what ya think of these ideas

I think that they are pretty great, Cornelius.  I'm planning on writing 
*something* to help the newbies out.  I'm not sure what yet.  Any ideas
anyone?  Anyway, I plan for that to be a regular column, and to cover
different topics every time.  

Maybe I should start with PicoSpan?  Maybe dabble in editors and term types
(by far the most frequently asked questions)?  

By the way, Cornelius, we are planning right now for this to be a quarterly
publication.  Maybe someday in the future we will have enough material and
news to require monthly publication.  Heck, maybe someday it'll be a weekly!

Right now I'm most concerned with getting this paper off to a good start, and
your help is certainly contributing to that.

thanks how about someone writing a
column advertising and telling
about grex to
get more subscribers online?
it could be called what is grex?
or
grex info

would you mind clarifying that a bit, clb?  Your style is very artistic, but
not the easiest to understand.  :-)

        Well, that could be a little box on the back of the newsletter, as
a standard thing.
        I like the idea of the FAQ. It goes with our online motif.

We have a few interviews planned, and are looking for board guidance on some
things, which will hopefully be acquired next Wed at the board mtg.

        Board Guidance? Should I light some incense?

#11 of 13 by lilmo on Mon Nov 27 02:23:18 1995:

*grin*  Not for us...

#12 of 13 by lee on Sun Dec 8 01:41:22 1996:

Where can we *get* a copy of this newsletter?

#13 of 13 by rcurl on Sun Dec 8 01:44:49 1996:

It's virtual - virtually nonexistent. There were a number of volunteers to
put it together, but then it faded away. Last I heard, people still
consider(ed) it worthwhile, but the volunteerism to make it happen, hasn't
happened.
