[MonashCommunityGarden] garden techie stuff

[Jess Mackay]

I think the idea of reducing "spam" is great. To make it even more
efficient, I think it would be a good idea to roll this email list into the
Environment and Social Justice one, and have plenty of garden stuff in the
Environment and Social Justice eNewsletter.
At the moment, I am writing the Environment and Social Justice eNewsletter
and am happy to continue doing this (as I am getting paid for it). So if
people are happy with this, I am happy to get the list sorted and then all
you need to do is let me know what you want me to put in the newsletter.
