SMF Newsletter - 1
Thantos:
When we released RC2 we said it would be the final Release Candidate. However due to the number of serious bugs we are seriously considering an RC3. However nothing has been firmly decided one way or the other. There are a few major issues that must be addressed prior to an RC3 and/or Final release. Once those issues are addressed we'll make a decision then.
If you want to be part of the team I suggest that you simply start helping out in the area you want to join. So if you want to be on the Doc team, head over to the OM and start helping out, write and/or edit some documentation. If you want to be on the Support team start giving people some solid quality support. After a couple solid months of doing that don't be afraid of sending a PM to the team leader letting them know your interest. But whatever happens don't turn down joining one team because you want to be part of another. We try to work as one team, our badges just show were our main focus is.

I think this is a great idea having newsletters :)
If there is an RC3 release, will there be new features in it?
Thantos:
I think we've added one security related feature from RC2. Other then that, there shouldn't be any new features from RC2 to Final. Adding non-security related features at this time would defeat the purpose of testing.

I'd suggest keeping us informed as to what features you are considering or which features seem like they could make it into the next release, tentatively, of course.
I think that would go far to satiate a lot of the members who want to know more and stay informed. I'd think it'd also help to prevent members from asking about the same popular features over and over again, such as custom profile fields / extended profiles.
Even just a rough guestimation of things that are being considered would do very nicely, that and how likely it is for a specific feature to be added.
I love the newsletter idea. You may want to post a blurb and a link to this in the News: area at the top so people can find it more easily. Should this be posted in the Chit Chat board, why not the News and Updates board?

i have no problem with digging the story, i already have some of you on my friends list.. however we have to pretty much all digg it at the exact same time, or relativly close to each other.. otherwize digg.com wont really pick up the story
thats not to say that you have to give a date on which your going to release 1.1 final.. it just means that when its released, you have to try and make a time/date when we should all digg the story
also, from what i've noticed.. i think we will need a good solid 50+ diggs in a short amount of time to get the story dugg to the front page
