Subject:  [VOICENWS] Mag: News from the VOICE Newsletter


++ From the VOICE OS/2-eComStation News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

You may have been wondering about the erratic frequency of Newsletter
releases lately. Rest assured, the  VOICE Newsletter won't go the way of
all flesh (and paper, for that matter) anytime soon. Actually, you may be 
pleasently surprised in a short while. More about that below.

The reasons for the delays are of different levels, organizational,
personnel-wise, and personal:

First of all, we haven't exactly been overwhelmed with the number of
articles pouring in.

Second, the ability of our editors to work on the Newsletter has
decreased. Our Editor-in-Chief's company is  eating up much of his spare
time these days, plus he's been working on other things. As president of 
Warpstock, Inc., Mark Dodel has been very busy with the upcoming Warpstock
event in Hershey.  Unfortunately, Jason R. Stefanovich has left the OS/2
platform completely. And Marckus Kraft is a busy man,  too.

Another reason is of a significantly more positive nature, namely that
quite a bit has been going on in the  background. Our Editor-in-Chief has
been pushing the switch to XHTML/CSS. Together with Holger Manthey  and a
few others, he has been working on a new XHTML and CSS-based Newsletter
design that should be a  lot more pleasant to the eye while also making
work on the Newsletter easier for both our editors and authors.

As our article buffer is low at the moment, we have decided to delay the
next issue until we are ready to finally  switch to XHTML/CSS. The new
layout is almost finished but we still have to clean up the code, adapt
our  build scripts, and write a tutorial for authors.

Anyway, we think that you are going to like the new VOICE Newsletter and
find it worth the wait.
