The whole idea is to summarize some of the highlights of what's going on in
the project, and do so in interesting ways. Talking about development
sounds entirely appropriate.
In particular, it'd be good to have enough meat in there to tempt more
people to come help us get 1.0 shipped. ;-)

Thanks. I got private mail from them almost immediately saying that they
definitely want copies in the future. Contact me privately when you're
ready to release your next issue and I'll give you all the email addresses I
used this time.

Those two sites are the places I happen to visit most often, but I suspect
that among the folks on this list, we can come up with a broader audience.

Given that we've got 70 people in the credits file, it's kind of hard to pin
down a single exact location. ;-) I personally happen to live in the SF
Bay area, and Shaw and Bob currently live in Champaign IL. Just from
scanning the domains in the credits file, we also have folks from:
Kansas (Justin)
Canada (Thomas)
Ireland (Caolan)
Australia (Bruce)
Sweden (Henrik)
South Africa (Luke)
Not to mention where all the translators live. :-)
