I really wonder about the numbers and whether you screw them up deliberately every week... Come on, it can't be that difficult: If the subject of the email says "Issue #N", then the body of the email should mention "Issue N" and the links in the email should point to issue N of the weekly news. In the last couple of weeks, you have distributed emails with some random combinations of subject lines, issue numbers in the body, and links. That's no good! Furthermore, the page http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News should not show "Read The Latest, Issue 64" but actually point to the true latest issue instead. Frankly speaking, when you send such incorrect emails with an official openSUSE touch to public mailing lists it certainly doesn't create such a good impression. Not to mention the wiki page which is out of date. Regards, Th. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You are right. However, I hope you to be big-hearted. ;-) Publishing openSUSE Weekly News depends on efforts of volunteer stuff, and ATM, Jan-Simon and Sascha have to shoulder most the works. There might be human errors or mistakes at any time and of course we should continue improving. To make things better, I want to help Jan-Simon and Sascha as a member of the team, and expect *warm* suggestions and advices from community people. ;-)

Fixed.

I agree with both of you, as a volunteer worker (although in a different area) I see both points. But to add an suggestion: Why don't you try to write a php-script which mails the mail automaticly?(could be combined with a cron job or so - of course it should be hosted somewhere at opensuse.org not on a home machine). The pros I see: - always the same template - always the same issue number - you could create some sort of newsletter (don't know if it exists in this form already) - you could try (and should possible succeed to automaticly pull content out of the wikipage, thus reducing the amount of necessary work - of course this requires some additional auditing (maybe making the weekly news site uneditable and accept articles in a draft version).

Everybody appreciates the effort, no doubt. I do a lot of voluntary stuff as well, so I know what you mean. However, it should not be used as an argument to justify recurring problems.

Human errors happen, but one would expect that people learn after one or two failures and make sure the same errors don't happen again. Why don't you automate the generation of these emails? For the time being, you could also create a check list for the publication of newsletters, for instance the wiki page should be updated before any announcement email is sent.

We're developing a script to automate the stuff - but I'm doing it in my free-time, too. So it will take a bit. The checklist is a good idea and we'll set it up. Best, Jan-Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
