[game_preservation] Quarterly newsletter?

[Julia Brasil]

We have a forum? What for? To keep tabs on what is discussed on the list?
Share hilarious pictures of kittens perhaps? I always figured that mailing
list and forums canceled each other out somehow. I guess I was wrong.

A newsletter would be an interesting undertaking. I er...third that idea. :)
Especially since, not being able to update the blog, it would give me
something to do, I guess. Not to mention, anything that brings awareness to
the SIG is a good thing, right? What would that entail, however? Just
activity updates?

On a more pressing subject, if we start using the forum again can I start a
thread on lolcats? ;)
