While it doesn't look like any original content is on the horizon, merely
because I lack the time to focus on it, I have been making small tweaks to
the existing newsletter content. You'll notice under each headline I note
whether the story has attracted any discussion, which is usually the case
for Mitten's daily briefs but also on other stories as well. Let me know
what you think, whether it's useful to you or just clutters things up, or
if I should only bother to note discussion on stories that have them.
Remember, silence speaks in my own opinion, which is that they're helpful.
Next up when I get my act together a bit more (you can all be excited that
every staff member at GDNet is running around crazy busy) is to start
posting a thread for post-poll discussions and linking to it at the bottom
of the poll results. Hopefully in the next few weeks! Oh and speaking of
polls, don't forget you can submit one yourself:

Thanks to Dark Sylinc for this week's poll.
As always, feedback and such can be directed to newsletter@gamedev.net
