SM Newsletter, Volunteers and ideas? Options

SM has an average of 1000 unique visitors daily to both the forums/the library and I'm thinking to publish a newsletter to a market size of at least 100 - 1000 interested subscribers.

Now this is just an idea for now since I have very little writing skill and occult knowledge, so I started this topic here to see if anyone has ideas, want to volunteer articles, and what else...

Sorry, started a new job recently that has had me working very odd hours I think in a couple of weeks that will normalize as my training is done, but I am filling a new position and it is not clear when the best hours for those duties are.

Anyway to the matter at hand.

Life of the project?
Until it dies.

Difference from the forum?
This would be in most cases longer posts, more researched, more indepth. It would give the chance to completely add context to the post.

It would also offer some type of viral advertisement to a multitude new people. I suspect that a good newsletter would survive a few years if it has one or two articles (sections) that are useful to others. From my experience good newsletters always led me to new sites and or forums.

I would offer that we should allow for longer articles, as long as they are concise on what is being said.

The biggest thing is that ideas or concepts be complete. We have a forum, this needs to be different. It also does not need to be timely, it should be more classic. In the sense that is does not matter if I am reading it now or 5 years from now.

I am willing to commit to anything short of editing and art work, those are areas I can not contribute to well. Personally in mind I had the concept of two articles, one on Composting for a small garden and one on multiple view points of giving thanks for the things we have. Goal of both articles are not to be the definitive articles on the topic but to get readers thinking and researching on their own.

I can also help with coordination and support, keeping track of progress, things like that.

Personally, I think we should shoot for twice a year, new submission cut off 40 days before publication. This allows for rewrites and fixes/changes edits and such. It also allows for any adding of images and such.

That is my take.
