This idea has merit but I tend towards cautious skeptism. Once the content of PM is put through an 'Editorial Filter' it will reflect the editorial leanings of the appointed person or committee.

This is not to say that Dr. Neylon and committee would provide an unbalanced view. Dr. Neylon has a history of informed, knowlegable and thoughtful commentary. I only caution that it is an editors job to edit.

So I say do it, but it must be kept independent of PM community a 'private enterprise' if you will. Then publish and let the community decide its worth.

So would I subscribe to a PM Newsletter? Sure, as long as it fullfiled my needs.
