As I had discussed with Valorie, I think it could be even better to
release the new "Amarok Insider" newsletter shortly before our Amarok
2.3 release, as this could be nice promotion, and it could help our
users understand the new release better (there are many changes). And
I think that might even be doable, as we made a lot of progress with
the document. It's already about 70% finished or so :)

What's missing:

Some really nice screenshots of the latest Amarok (2.3-Beta, or from
Git). Here our users could help us a lot. Any takes for creating some
pretty screenshots? :)
