yes. but can simply PR if you want

So, considering the newsletter break I am fine to add stuff to newsletter if it gets released until 2nd of Dec, so two more days. Sam then you have less stress, but please PR the news. wurstsalat

but all these news should still go into the next zears newsletter anyway

sure!

👍

Done (https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/1015).

Many thanks

Sure. I *really* hate submitting PRs against markdown documents, it combines a lot of things I don't like, so maybe next month I'll just make a placeholder link or something that can be in the newsletter and will redirect to the actual thing when it's out. That would let me not have to do it early too as I prefer to write these on the last day of the month. Anyways, just thinking out loud.

It would also mean the link can update if we ever move these updates and not break, which is probably good because this isn't a *real* blog, and I'd like to have RSS eventually for them. Anyways, other suggestions welcome.

I dont understand the latter. But what exactly makes life hard for you when PRing?

Sam, I took your PR and added the content manually in order to put in into the right section. Github's online editor works good for this kind of contributions :)

Yes, maybe just do it this way

I don't like GitHub's online editor much, or using their PR flow (which is sad because everyone has adopted it). It's normally not a big deal, but I also don't like editing hard-to-read markdown files with long lines that go on forever off the page, so in general I'd just prefer to use a pad or similar for writing personally

It's not a huge deal, just something I try to avoid and I missed it this month

wurstsalat: thanks

Huh, apparently I still didn't understand the markdown file and I thought I put it immediately under the "libraries" header. Oh well, sorry; thanks for merging.

Sam: next time yiu can also just place it here

prewritten

Oh that's easy enough; thanks

👋don't wanna be one of those whiners, I'm sure everyone here is beyond busy, just thought worth mentioning that the Twitter @xmpp has not posted the October newsletter yet and November is almost over

emus is on it ;)

singpolyma: yes thanks

just a bit of patience. I will take measures to bring it up to dste even some of it might be already out-dated

Does the pad work for you?

Ah ok, works in my dirty browser. Seems firefox is configured too secure. :D

So the final deadline is coming close - last chance for this years last XMPP Newsletter! ✏
