[game_preservation] Quarterly newsletter?

[Andrew Armstrong]

Yeah, it'd be a report similar to the meeting reports. It'd likely that 
we'd put it up on the Wiki, and put a copy on this mailing list and so 
forth, and could probably get it added to the monthly newsletter that 
IGDA sends round and get it on the front page news. Glad there is some 
interest in compiling it.

Also, this is the forum I was talking about:

http://www.igda.org/Forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=202

Julia; you could already create a lolcats thread, but the preservation 
forum wouldn't be the right place for it :) you might want to try the 
lounge.
