I wanted to put it in proper words, but I didn't get around to it, so 
maybe I'll do it just quickly here:

I like the FWN in general. But I noticed I often do not read them. They 
for me are to long and contain way to many details -- the section "The 
PATH to CAPP Audits" and "The Looming Py3K Monster" for example contain 
a lot of information (which were hard work to collect), but if I want 
that in-depth details I'll go and read the thread on the list directly. 
I think a little bit less (1/3 or 1/4 the length of what it is now) 
could me more/better here.

And all those links in the text with sections like

IMHO make it really hard to read.

The OpenSUSE weekly news
http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/49
look much more professional, are likely a whole less work and they even 
get them translated because they are shorter/focus on the more important 
things.

Just my 2 cent as seldom reader. I thought you guys maybe wanted to 
know. And don't let my option confuse you to much. Maybe it's just me.
