Sounds like what we have/had in le lojbo karni, our in-suspension newsletter
That came out quarterly or so, when I had time to produce it.  There will be a
new issue when I get an address list updated.

If you want to volunteer, and think you can  come up withg something interesting
 and useful for Web page and/or for eventual inclusion in a printed newsletter,
you are certainly encouraged to do so.  In general, whenever we have news, we
post to Lojban List, and a look at the archives for the last few years will
show just how sparse this has been.

The primary current need is TIME.  A couple of us seem to be on the critical
path for virtually everything related to publishing.  Farming out tasks is
not possible for those areas that we are critical on, or we would surely have
 done so.

My primary need is for LOCAL assistance for updating mailing lists etc. (it
has to be local since the data is mostlyt on pieces of paper around my house,
and the data base on my computer), help in sending out orders (I have one
occasional helper, but more would be useful).

Needless to say, very few people can help this out.
