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.

Any editors/managers, writers, or unique section-ers...?

Reason: Members' username change.
It's related to knowledge, it's unique, it's short and snappy, it's good for logo creation wise and it's the first thing that Allah created! What more do you want!?
‘Say: If the ocean were ink wherewith to write out the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted, even if We added another ocean like it.’~Al Qu'raan (18:109)
bro eHafiz, what would Al Falah and Al Qalam come out like in the same sentence. ie the pen and word or the message and the teller etc , but obviously in arabic.
definately best two words tho
"O ye who belive! Endure, outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe your duty to Allah, in order that you may succeed"
‘Say: If the ocean were ink wherewith to write out the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted, even if We added another ocean like it.’~Al Qu'raan (18:109)
Al-qalam gets my vote, looks like this name will get the most votes.
Three simple rules in life:
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
someone metioned islamic history, maybe you go from A to Z Prophets or events. If its what your looking for I would really like to do an ongoing storyline, have wanted an outlet for some time for it. If its something you are interested in then we can discuss limits etc. Peace and respect brother.
Brother eHafiz you keep coming up withthe craziest lengthy threads, you sure this is not a plot to help you reach the 1000,000 post ?

^ inshallah good idea. Maybe once a name is sorted we can decide upon topics of focus for the e-Newsletter.

Okay, which bozo let the secret out? Just kidding. Well, I guess it's because ... hmm.. good point. But it's just a coincidence. :X
Al-Qalam seems to be winning.
So my question is, Al-Qalam and AlQalam is taken unfortunately. But the title of the Newsletter can still be Al-Qalam. But the link itself, what should it be? QalamNews.com? I don't know. :X
all forms of Qalam/AlQalam are taken. We need something like QalamNews or something. Anyone got a word we can add on to the link/domain? We'll title the newsletter Al-Qalam but for the sake of domain, we need to add a word to it to make it unique. :X

ooh that's al-Qalam! I was reading it as al-Qalaam lol and i was thinkin al-qalaamulhikmah could be a good domain name. then i saw that it was al-Qalam and not al-qalaam. lol. yeah Qalam sounds good.
