Thanks a lot below thing I didn't know this about PDF. I read article two times. It is very interesting for me. I got new information from you @downey thanks a ton for this.

It's a good idea.  
@LN @downey @yanokwa I also go through with [Link](https://forum.getodk.org/search?q=behind%20the%20repos) and I thought 3 times and I found that we should stick with our old looking of the newsletter, so many users which read old one easily understand easily.
