'''This is the draft for a new Hotrodders.com newsletter -- edited by Hotrodders.com members. You can add to or edit this newsletter. When it's roughly "complete", it will be edited one last time, and sent out via email to Hotrodders.com members. If you want to help edit, but you're not sure what to add, try adding in a good discussion or "pic of the week".''' Welcome to the "new" newsletter from Hotrodders.com, the independent voice of hotrodding on the web. In this issue... Top tech articles from our hot rod how-to encyclopedia, techy forum discussions, hot rod pics of the week, and our hot rod art contest. Plus, details on the frivolous lawsuit filed over an article we wrote about Streetbeasts, a notorious kit car company. ==Tech Article Wiki== We've started an online hotrodding encyclopedia. It runs on "Wiki" software, just like Wikipedia, the net's free encyclopedia. ANYONE can edit the articles in the wiki, including you. Over time, wiki articles are edited, refined, and verified with contributions from many members. Here's a sampling of some of the more developed wiki articles: And, here's a list of articles that recently got started, that you can add to.
