Newsletter setup

[coolgeekone]

Hi guys,
I've setup a website for our school using the Edugeek Joomla 1.5 Package. The staff haven't really used the site really and I'm trying to generate interest in the site. I know the principal sends out weekly newsletter to parents via email. I would like to try and automate this on the web site and have as user friendly as possible.

I've installed Docman and Remository and played with both a little. Down the road, I would like the site to host documents staff members can access and some public documents like field trips forms etc.

Recommendations would be great!

p.s - the solution has to be as equal as sending an email to all the parents with the newsletter attached

Thanks.

and why would these solutions not work? what are they missing?

I know theres an addon for DOCman which sends out E-Mail notifications when a file has been uploaded to a Category... but the E-Mails that it sends out arnt what you call user friendly.

Vemod News Mailer (Auto-Compilation and eMailing) - Joomla! Extensions Directory - this offers a newsletter from a diffarent angle... other than that take a look in the extension directory and see if anything takes your fancy
