First off, its great to have you back Paul. (If indeed you ever went
away.) I hope that your twins are giving you a little peace once or twice
a day.

I was just thinking that I should start announcing "POW"'s myself but I
felt a bit presumptuous doing so.

Can you coordinate POW's Paul? They were always your baby. I and
others can feed you suggestions if that makes it easier. I have a lot of
ideas already.

Indeed we do Jamie. I think that Sam began to feel that the AWN was not
really appreciated plus lack of time like everyone else. I would be happy
to have you write the AWN.

Besides the Linux sites like LinuxToday and Linux Weekly News we should
also send send it to some BeOS enthusiasts sites like BeBits. Is there a
similar site for QNX Thomas F? (Why do we have so many developers named
Thomas?)

Plus of course the main Web site. Now that Sam has control of the main
site (Well after he gets back from Vacation), we should start updating
pointers to Reviews of Abi.

Cheers

Martin
