Feel free to suggest sections!

If you want to help writing the newsletter:

• Read CONTRIBUTING.md.
• Grab some of the "🆓 free" sections by leaving a comment like "I'd like to work on {section_name_1} and {section_name_2}".
• Mentions in brackets (like "🆓 free (@ozkriff?)") are just an invitation to write the corresponding section if you want, but anyone is free to take it.
• Write a short overview:
  • Use provided links as a starting point.
  • Try to maintain a consistent style with the rest of the newsletter and run markdownlint, please.
  • Insert line breaks (softbreak) at 80 chars, please.
  • DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.
• Send a PR to the source branch (example: #336)
  • Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together.

The deadline for all section PRs is 2021.02.03.

⚠️ It was decided to try a shorter and more limited section format: ⚠️

• Only one image (<300kb) or GIF (<2.5mb) before the text. With an optional caption and a mandatory alt text.

• All the (rendered) text should be under 1000 characters (including spaces and punctuation) and under 6 paragraphs (without any subsections, etc).

• No bold/italic/etc formatting - only links and one plain list without nesting per section.

• Third-person perspective.

• 80 chars per MD line and no other markdownlint warnings on CI.

• Only the following simple templates are allowed:

  For games/apps/libs:

  # [Gamename]
  
  ![alt text](img)
  _optional image label_
  
  [Gamename] ([GitHub], [Discord], [Twitter]) by [@nickname]
  is ... {short project description in one sentence}.
  
  {An overview of the recent updates with links to more details}.
  
  _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twiter](link), [etc](link)_
  
  {md links block}

  For articles/videos/etc:

  # [Articlename]
  
  ![alt text](img)
  _optional image label_
  
  [@nickname] published an [article] about ...
  {overview what the resource is about}.
  
  _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twiter](link), [etc](link)_
  
  {md links block}

CONTRIBUTING.md isn't updated for this yet.
