Of course. But I have no clue who I should contact on this! ;-) So I have to call for people here!
Is there anybody out there who want to help me with this project?

You're right, we should ask in the english and the US list for some people who are willing to proof
read the news.

Ok... I think that is basically a nice idea but it is also a huge amount of work if more than one
developer per day want's to announce his cool new feature... If you have to test each of this
things, this will take a lot of time. One more reason that we need more than tweo people who taking
care of the hole project.

ACK. I can be "new collector" and "news searcher". I do that right now for my blog, so it won't be a
big difference my current situation for me ;-)
And I will try to be a kind of project leader...

Of course...

As I said at te beginning.. Currently I have no idea who I can ask for contributing this project.

So, if anybody is interested in this issue and willing to help me, please contact me at
thomas (at) typo3-unleashed (dot) net

I will announce this the next days on the english and US list as well and hopefully we will find
some people whith which we can start this project to make TYPO3 and the information flow much
better! :-D


Greets,
Thomas
