==Distribution and timescale==
How often should a new newsletter be produced?
* I expect this to be content driven.  I have created an Adobe Indesign page layout that allows new issues to be formatted very quickly.  If there is enough new material to push out that is relevant, we can get it out.  (Andrew)

How should it be produced delivered?

*I have formatted the document for PDF production, but it can also be printed on 11 by 17 sheets.  This would allow small print runs to have hardcopies to hand out, etc. (Andrew)

==General formatting==
What do you think the 'feel' of the newsletter should be?
*professional style with lots of imagery, but different content from the wiki (else why read it).  Definitely keeping it student oriented, and informational. (Andrew)

==Articles and authors==
Post your name and specific article ideas here!
*"PI/instructor interviews" (Andrew)
*"features on different teams from ambassadors" (Andrew)
*"Student reviews of last year's Jamboree" (Melissa)

*"Synthetic Biology: A New Hope" - new technologies enabled by synthetic biology, maybe highlighting the work by some iGEM participating schools? (Melissa)
