Please take a second to digg this article. We would really like to increase the participation on the UWN, and that'll only come once we increase the audience. Digg is a great tool for that :)

And, you can also read the last four issues of the UWN here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=243

Thanks

Oh come on, people!

The Ubuntu Weekly News is currently done by 3-5 devotees. You know you want it to thrive! :)

I enjoy UWN very much, dugg. It's like a little treat in my inbox every week.

So, can we look forward to back issues appearing in the forum?

Hmm...
It's possible... I guess I can do it if you really want it.
In fact... if you really want it... you do it! ツ
Here's how:
1) download http://koltsoff.com/pub/reformat.py
2) open up the page of the UWN issue you wish to do and click edit
3) open up gedit, copy the page into gedit, save as UWN23 or something like that
4) run 'python reformat.py UWN23 UWN23F' (change the filenames to whatever you like, but please include the issue number in them
5) once you're done with as many issues as you feel like, send them all to jenda@ubuntu.com

The reward to whoever does this is for all the past issues... a big thank you* in the Ubuntu Weekly News section... and 10 case badges/laptop stickers of your choice (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu).

*not really that big, but it'll be mentioned on the top of each of those posts.

OK, I admit, the digg plan didn't really work out.
But at least this thread made some more people notice there is such a thing as the UWN... I hope. :)

Alrighty, some anonymous reformatter sent me a decent pack of back issues to put up - I'll do that as soon as I can.
