Hi Karsten,

Thank you for volunteering. I've just written up some of the possible
text on the wiki.

I include some information below about how to send it out, in addition
to what is already listed on the TWN wiki page
[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorWeeklyNews].

If you find yourself unable to do it for any reason, please don't
worry about it.

Thanks!

---

1. Paste the completed text of the newsletter (with XXXs still in
place) into a text file, and save it to your drive as something like
TWN87nonum

2. Run the 'numerize.rb' script
[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorWeeklyNews/Numerize]
on this file to get a numbered version (if the numbers don't match the
footnotes, someone left out an XXX marker somewhere). `./numerize.rb <
TWN87nonum > TWN87`

3. Wrap all the non-footnote lines to 72 chars.

4. Send out that text to tor-news@ and tor-talk at . You might need to
stop your mail program from wrapping the URL lines.

5. If you want to handle the blog post as well, you can run the
'linkify.rb' script
[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorWeeklyNews/Linkify]
over the numerized version of the text, then manually apply the
autogenerated hyperlinks to the right words, and make the other
changes listed on the wiki page. Or you can leave this for me to do a
few days later.

6. Don't worry about the rest.
