@apenzl, here are some of my thought on the newsletter idea. crossed post in
https://forums.nxtcrypto.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=331&p=2432#p2432We could follow similar template as the peercoin's newsletter
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=369239.0, but do it in a more decentralized fashion. That is having many writings by contributors in a magazine style.
The newsletter could be divided into different sections such as : full clients update, new projects, promotional events, merchant adoptions, interviews etc. and we could have each section covered by a contributor.
There should be some editors whose English are fluent because we want the newsletter looking good.
So the organization could be as follow:
Editors: 1-3 people, tasked with proofreading submission, selection of submission, contacting with contributors to request contents
Contributors: 5-6 depending on the level of interest; tasked with writing what they follow and interest and what might be requested by editors.
Following this type organization, we can move from a simple newsletter to full-scale magazine easily when the time comes.
Finance: We should seek financial support from donors at the beginning. Eventually we could have funds from advertisement etc.
Contributors and editors are expected to do volunteer work in the beginning. Other compensations could be discussed later, but I think we need to emphasize on volunteer efforts here. You can't expect to earn anything much at this state or maybe even in the future. So volunteers are welcome, paid mercenary please go away.
