  • We should consider a mailing to the larger and faster-growing lists in an effort to recruit new cresspondents. Their interest in LS at this point is probably associated with campaigning at this point, it would be nice to have at least a few start contributing to the news side of things.

  • The main (English, global) Twitter feed should now be tweeting once per hour 24/7. Be interesting to see what this does to the numbers this month.
