Topic: New Monthly Newsletter - Issue 1

The first CrunchBang monthly newsletter has been published. The newsletter is a community project and has been put together by the CrunchBang Monthly Newsletter Team. The team, I am not including myself in this statement, have done a fantastic job putting the newsletter together and it has been really interesting to observe the 8 editors collaborate on the document -- I hope you will agree that the end result is both an interesting and informative read!

The first issue can be found at: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/crunchb … issue_0903

On a personal note, I would just like to thank everyone involved and especially Niels Rasmussen (aka Scrat), who I am sure the rest of the team will agree, has done an exceptional job at cracking the whip and getting everything/everyone organised. Thank you Scrat! smile

Hmm, having a dedicated proofreader would be good, but please remember that English is not everyone's native language. wink

Awesome. It's neat seeing the attention this distribution is getting from other sites.
Also, The ASCII Star Wars command was funny. I've seen the animation before on its website, http://www.asciimation.co.nz/, but never from one console command!

I realised it was a wiki and I delved in!

Just done the top and bottom parts so far, 48 edits! Hope someone notices the difference.

Hi all,

I think I'm talking on behalf of the News Editor Team when I say "Thanks for your comments" smile

It's really appreciated !

Sure, it would be nice to have a proofreader, just don't let it break the meaning of the text.

So proof ahead smile

Thanks,

Re: New Monthly Newsletter - Issue 1

I wouldn't have been so motivated if it wasn't for the multiple you're/your and it's/its issues. Then I dealt with some punctuation, caps and even pushed the boat out and rephrased three or four sentences. Hope it's okay. Hope I can go thru the middle part later.
