    • DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.

AngelOnFira commented

@ozkriff I came across this while looking at crow. Might be worth adding?

ozkriff commented

@AngelOnFira yeah. I think it's better to add this as a subsection of the "crow v0.3" section.

Skytrias commented

yea good job, everyone.

will every project always have to reintroduce itself each newsletter? takes a few paragraphs per project

PsichiX commented

i think we could make it somethink like this: if project got introduced in previous newsletter, one could add a link to that project note.

Good idea?

@Skytrias I've been trying to use big introductions only for projects that weren't mentioned in the newsletter before, otherwise use only a quick one-sentence reminder.
