Let's do a deadline of sunday night for any articles, for a LATE monday 
morning release of the newsletter... this time only.

I don't want to resort to "assigning" articles or something, but it 
seems this becomes more and more an issue each week, with articles 
slipping past the Weds deadline a little more each issue... what am I 
to do to ensure the newsletter stays active, on time, and interesting 
(ie, not 3 editorials, but at least 2 with some "content")?  

Magazines and newsletters, both online and print usually assign writers 
for articles... do you all think we should start doing that, as this 
volunteer way is not working for a regular newsletter?  Any other ideas?
