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.

We're still in planning stages right now, so the site isn't up and running, yet.

^ Indeed it is an experience. I'm looking forward to it as well, but I really want to thank you all for volunteering. This is a team effort and it could not have been done without us all.
So now that E-hafiz has gone on vacation, i suggest that we continue working what we volunteered for while he's gone. Try to prepare a few samples (if you haven't already done so) to submit to e-hafiz when he comes back.
We can have a column about sport for example ''muslim player watch'' there are few muslim footballers that play weekly so we can talk about how they played that week

Hmm... What do you guys think about that?
I'm okay if you write short articles about previous or recent players, how they converted to Islam, or how they tied Islam with their careers, or how there was a rumor that Shaquille O Neal recited Bismillah in one of his games, etc.
But in terms of an actual sports section, even if it IS a Muslim player, I think it might be out of context.
well we need to decide what columns will the the newsletter have, the headings of the columns, when the first issue will be published, due dates for article submission, etc.
then you can decide the subject of the articles for the coming year.
once you tell us the above, we start writing and once we're done, we submit.
also each volunteer should submit a few articles in advance so you have a bunch at hand to pick from.
