Pranam. With the publication of the JainNet Gazette, the issue of delivering Jain News and announcements to the users has been take care of. It also serves in highlighting the best content by way of JainList "Post-of-the-Week". It is also helpful to the busy reader who wants to keep in touch with Jainism, but only has some time to spare. Post-of-the-Week, helps him to do that. The Gazette provides a platform to JainList members in "Reader's Talk" to share their comments and suggestions on JainList. Weekly panchang delivered to the mailbox helps one in not missing important Tithis etc. I would request all the members to give their feedback whether they are in agreement with the above observations. And also to suggest any improvements in the same. Jai Jinendra.
