1. A few words...
----------------
 Happy new year, everybody ! (It's a bit late, I know.)
 Hi JDC Members !!
 I'm Lars Hannig, the owner of JDC and the "publisher" of this newsletter.
 I'm glad that the JDC is getting better and better, 
 thorough the help of its members.(Thanks, Guys !)
 Contact the JDC for suggestions, criticsm, ideas, etc. 

2. The new sections of the JDC Homepage.
----------------------------------------
 There are a few new section of JDC.
 For example: 
1) The "Yahoo! JDC" section.
2) JDC Picture Gallery.
3) Jaguar Workshop.

2.1 More Infos about the new sections.
--------------------------------------
1)The "Yahoo! JDC" section will be used to chat 
 with other members. (JDC Chat)
 You'll have to join the Yahoo! JDC before you can use it.
 You need a "invitation" to join.
 (Everybody who has got no "invitation" to join, contact 
 the JDC.)

2)It's a picture gallery which can be used by members 
 to show their, atari related, artwork.(Contact the JDC for more Infos.)

3)Current Jaguar workshops:
 50Hz /60 Hz modification
  
 I have got some ideas for other Jaguar workshops, but 
 these workshops are in development, I'm searching for more facts, infos, etc about :
 BJL modification, Jaguar Arcade Joystick, Jaguar Link 
 cable, Video cables (Scart cable, composit cable, etc)

 Do you have any good ideas for another Jaguar 
 workshop or do you have facts for the workshops which 
 are in "development" ?


3. The JDC needs more support from its members !
------------------------------------------------
 Hey Members !
 The following JDC sections need more support:
1) Development Stuff (Every member who has got 
   development stuff, which is not listed in this section, 
   please contact the JDC.)
2) JDC Picture Gallery (Every member who has got cool, atari related, 
   artwork and want to show it to other members, contact 
   the JDC.)
3) Jaguar Workshop (Everybody who has got ideas or 
   facts for another Jaguar Workshop, contact the JDC.)

4. Criticsm from non-members.
-----------------------------
 A few people asked me why I start a development message board, when nobody uses it.
 Is there no JDC member who wants to talk about Jaguar development or what ?
 There is only one way how the JDC Message Board can become a success, we have to use it.

 Some of those "JDC is full of errors..." messages from JI2 were right there was an error in the "Development System Info" section.
 But it had been corrected after the first messages.Here the corrected version:
 1.JUGS is NOT a project of 4PLAY or Thunderbird, it's a project of a developer who wants to stay anonymous.
 2.The price is not about $200 or $300, it's about the price of BJL or Jaguar Server.
 These two points were the source of the dicussion at JI2.
 I do not want to dicuss it again, I've added this article because it's "criticsm from non-members", nothing more , nothing less.

5. Thanks
----------
 Thanks to everybody for joining the JDC and supporting it.
 This was the first issue of the JDC newsletter, I hope the next issue is getting better.(It can't get worse, can it ?)
 Everybody who has got comments or wants to write Jaguar related articles for this newsletter, just mail me.
