wiki.debian.net doesn't have a low entry barrier. I know there's some
way around the "Immutable Page" tag but I don't remember what it is
(my memory is pretty spotty) and a quick search didn't find much -
it's not mentioned on wiki.debian.org/HelpOnEditing, for example.
Also, I'm not sure whether there's an offline editor for it (most
times I have spare, I don't have live online access) and I don't know
how to send emails, news or files to it.
Finally, I've had past experience of contributions to debian
newsletters being rewritten buggily and don't see how DPN differs.
I don't mind if anyone thinks all those reasons are silly. I just
thought I'd point out some deterrents.
