I am intending to start an e-Newsletter. It's just an idea floating in the back of my head, so I thought I'd speak out on it and get an estimate headcount of how many would participate in accomplishing this project.
Basically, we need a few writers, possibly some designers, and perhaps even a few managers to handle each section. I'm thinking of Spirituality, General Advice, Book Reviews, Creative Writing, etc. It'll be in PDF form.
Again, just an idea being thrown out. You might be wondering who'd subscribe. Well, first of all, it IS free. And secondly, I'd like to safely say that I have a list of 20,000 people (contacts from previous emails I used to send out etc) who'd subscribe. You can say 10K just to be safe. Insha'Allah!
So please post your thoughts, feedback, suggestions, and if you are interested in assisting. And of course, we need a name for it as well.

If you are on the list in error or you wish to be removed, just post it and I'll modify the list.
Any editors/managers, writers, or unique section-ers...?
We need more volunteers, so please do not shy away from this list.

Reason: Members' username change.
Please vote. But when you vote, vote to something close to what you want. For example, if a choice is "Muslim Voice" and you only like the "Voice" part, then still vote for it. Sort of conceptual.
OK, Yeah, I agree on those in the poll already... I liked Muslim Voice too

Don't forget to vote brothers and sisters! We need to make this decision as a community on LI Islamicboard inshaAllah. And if you don't really like any of them, suggest a name yourself!
JazakaAllahu Khairan.

1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
I don't like 'stairway to paradise'. It's too Led Zepplin-y. Which I don't think an islamic paper should be. Just my personal opinion, before people start ranting.
I know you don't really want an Arabic name but how about al-Qalam (The Pen), or al-Sawt (The Voice), or al-Haadee (The Guide)? From the ones above al-Falaah would get my vote .
al-Qalam is good. And maybe we can get someone to do calligraphy with the word "al-Qalam" for a logo.
