Re: Re: Sprout 20

Hi Vincent, I would recommend contacting Steve as soon as possible to 
get the interview/article
moving forward. I think that this is great content for issue 21. Maybe 
we could get his take on
NetBeans over the last year and look forward one year to see his vision. 
We could present
some information on his role with NetBeans/Sun, his take on 
localizations, the platform, etc.
Vincent do you want to take the lead here?

We will definately add your suggested news items and I think the content 
with Vy would be
good addition. Anybody interested in working with Vy and putting 
together an article?

I will also be covering at this point:
Mobility Pack for NB 3.6
MultiLingual and cobundle release schedules

Other possible stories:
Highlights of the Online NetBeans chat

What I would like to see:
A cool tip or cool feature in NetBeans 3.6 - We need to find somebody to 
put this together.

We may also want to promote the French, Russian, Japanese and Chinese 
mailing lists
because I am not sure how many people are aware that they exist.
