Hi Gert-Jan,<br>
<br>
<br>
we already use the news item feature. The newsletter possibility
sounds great, I didn't about it. I will be in Essen and we can have
a look at it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Carmen<br>

<div>Codrian, Marc and me (and others) discussed a few times the
use of a blog module in order to be able to easily create,
publish ans link (from twitter, facebook etc.) news items.</div>
<div>After diving into in the CMS (Contao) manual I found out that
Contao offers a dedicated "news item" feature and even a "news
letter" feature (that might make the use of Mailchimp obsolete).</div>

<div>In Redmine a ticket
(<a href="http://foss4g2016.org/redmine/issues/127">http://foss4g2016.org/redmine/issues/127</a>) has been opened for
such a feature, but that ticket has been closed in the mean
time.</div>
<div>I guess it's also related to
item <a href="http://foss4g2016.org/redmine/issues/224">http://foss4g2016.org/redmine/issues/224</a> (make breaking
news more visible)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some qustions and suggestions:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Did you already check out
the possibilities of the news and/or news item feature? </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Do we have to adjust to
website layout to show these news items?</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.4;">If you're at the hacking
weekend in Essen next month, Codrina, you and I might
eleborate on this.</span></li>
</ul>
