I'm with you on boycotting FB for public purposes too, I'm afraid. When I volunteered to be newsletter editor, I was thinking of a simple HTML display that could go on the Inkshed website, with a PDF version also given for people to print out if they prefer to read that way. The biggest need of the newsletter is of course content! I am inclined to kidnap (but I'll ask nicely) Susan Drain's minutes from the meeting in Fredericton as a first item. Anybody else want to write up a note summarizing or responding to a topic discussed there? As someone who had to miss the afternoon session to catch a plane, I'd be interested in knowing more and maybe extending those discussions.
