I would (since you ask), find someone willing to coordinate the effort, a first editor-in-cheif as it were, wanting to do it becuase he/she loves freeBSD, and then that person can put together a reuest for editors/authors. If two or more people can be found who want to do it, they should bounce around ideas for format and content. I was going to add "then they could submit the ideas to the news letter for approval", but, too many cooks. Maybe it would be better for them to just do it. -Tim
