As a translator, I find the newsletter really clear and interesting. However, I have sometimes the impression that the same piece of information is repeated three times in three consecutive sentences, making the text too verbose. That may discourage translation work, and so reading (since it would be no more available in reader native language). My two cents…

Merci ! We look for improvement, and it is definitely one to consider.

Should we get closer to Tech News writing style?

I believe I still like better current Growth Newsletter style than Tech News one. It looks more “human”, is more pleasant to read. But that’s only my humble opinion.

Thank you. It is valuable feedback!

Yes, it's clear but verbose. It would also help if it had a coloured background in the en.Wiki tradition to make it stand out among the many routine messages on our talk pages that require answers or on-going dialogue. Such a background is so easy to do.

@Kudpung, thank you.

Coloured background might not be accepted by other wikis. The project logo is supposed to highlight the newsletter, so as section titles.

"Coloured background might not be accepted by other wikis." Conjecture? Please look at an en.Wiki talk page. Newsletters that do not have a discreet background look a mess.
