Hey
I read through this thread - https://portableapps.com/node/16429 - found it really informative and pleasing to see the directions PA.com is taking and the potential for greater distribution of PA and the OSS we all value so highly. That is why I thought I would propose using parts from the thread for a story in the newsletter with hopefully an accompanying editorial piece from JTH and some of the PA.com cornerstone people on some of the plans (Not a roadmap just plans or aims) of PA for the future. Also I think a lot of people would be excited to read that an alpha for the next platform might soon be available, though you may not want to include it for the risk of people posting demands for the release.
Anyway just an idea.
Take care and thanks for all your efforts
