I've been thinking I'd like to take a crack at writing articles. I enjoy writing and I enjoy being at launches and watching what the rest of the club is launching. The downside is, I enjoy launching my own stuff and I'm usually so busy at it that I don't have time to catch all the highlights or even remember who launched what. And if I end up going for a stroll to recover something, I miss a good twenty minutes or more of the action. So in order to do a proper job of it, I'd have to cut back on my own launching.
You write good articles, Claude but even so, a lot goes unmentioned. People like to see themselves in print. I know I do.
Question: Why limit ourselves to just one article per launch? Could we make this more of a group effort, having two or more "reporters" on site so that we can "tage team", and have one keeping an eye on things so another can launch a few? That way maybe more of us will "make the papers".
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

I think IMHO Claude does an amazing job of writing captivating articles. He has a photographic memory for all the stuff that is launched and still manages to volunteer for a shift as well as launch his own stuff.

I think we should make the article writing a "job" on the launch list. Also, to help the writer, I think it would be great it people sent a bulleted list of their personal launch highlights to the "writer". That way the "it" writer can really be an editor, as Rick sort of alluded to.

This way we would be sure to have the article covered, and the load would be lightened by people submitting their summaries.

P.S. I'll be there tomorrow and promise to post some photos to the website.
