[SCA-BMDL] Do we need a monthly Althing?

  Heck no. If anything, I'd rather see the equivalent of a mostly A&S issue with lots of articles and photos and illustrations. You could skip the event announcements as far as I'm concerned, or at least truncate them and just link to the websites'announcements.
   
  Having said that, I will dig through my files and send you some articles. :-)

Two people have requested hard copies.

The minimum frequency any newsletter in the kingdom can be reduced to 
is quarterly, as the newsletter is the local chronicler's report to 
the kingdom chronicler. A chronicler is one of the offices required by 
Kingdom law, so the office cannot entirely be replaced with a webscript.

Not all of the information contained in the Althing is also published 
website, currently. While officer announcements could be published on 
the website, I don't believe that the webminister is CCed on what the 
officers send to me.

Out of Barony events are not published on the Barony website. Granted, 
they are in the kingdom newsletter which members of SCA Inc. get every 
month (but not all those who play in the Barony are members of SCA 
Inc.), and you sometimes can find links to event announcements on the 
AE website (but not always). Half the time, I get event announcements 
by culling through posts on the AE list or by hunting down the 
information on other groups websites.

If a pretty version of The Althing isn't wanted or is found to be 
annoying by the populous, I can just produce something in text.

Or maybe just a list of links to information on the web so you can 
make your build your own newsletter.

I'm open to suggestions.
