weekly news - 20040224

[maintainer at lunar-linux.org]

Hi!

Here's the latest weekly news edition!

=====================================================================

[ THIS IS A TEST VERSION OF THE NEW WEEKLY REPORTS ... ]

This is the first weekly update. With it, we hope to provide you with more
effective information about imoonbase updates in the future. Since people
didn't really appreciate the what-is-new-bot we've taken it offline and
moved its output to the -dev mailing list.

Meanwhile this weekly message will contain two parts. One part is personal
input by developers (you are reading that now), and the other part will show
you how the moonbase roughly changed over the last week. Most importantly,
you will see new modules higlighted, and which versions have changed over
the last week. This second part is completely automated, and will always
appear.

I hope everyone will appreciate these weekly updates, and I encourage
everyone to comment/and or suggest stuff. I will gladly add user comments
to this weekly e-mail. I hope you all enjoy these weeklies.
