What would it take for dhr_news to get started again?
I saw that eevilalice posted over on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dramione about it, and I was just thinking/brainstorming about what it might take for it to get started again.

A couple of things I know aren't a problem:
1) Getting control ofdhr_news. terrayn appears to be gone from fandom, and I know that ![[staff profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png)
denise will transfer ownership of communities. I asked to have theauthority given to me due to a missing mod, and after getting the OK from the community, Dreamwidth made me the administrator.
2) It looks like the person who ownsdhr_news is still around, so that wouldn't be a problem to bring on new mods.
3) Getting someone to post it on DW. If it remained a weekly thing, I know that at the very least, I could be persuaded to hit the 'post' button once a week on a pre-formatted thing. Probably the same with the LJ one, for a 'posting person.'
The problems:
1) The big, huge, cluster-@#$@# of work that comes with running a newsletter. I assume that it would remain weekly, because, well, too much @#$#@$-ing work. But otherwise, I'm not sure what could be done to make it useful and manageable. Thoughts?
I'm not stepping up and saying 'I will run this,' because that's a huge commitment. What I was mostly thinking is that 'what if it was possible to break this down into many smaller commitments.' Because if it was, THEN I think we (or a team of people) might be able to get this running.
