Hi all! I’m not able to write a newsletter for October due to workload and in November it’s gonna be worse - I’ve signed up for an event which involves writing 50,000 words 
I’ve been looking for a volunteer to take it over for a couple of months, @Caitlin very kindly got in touch with some master’s students (I think junior/student writers is best because it will help with their careers), and they asked about payment (which I think is fair!)
I want to open a Loomio proposal to set aside a little funding towards this? What do people think about it, and about the budget we might need?
My thoughts:
- the London living wage (£10.75/hour) seems fair to me?
- It took me about 2-3 hours as @decentral1se said it took them previously
- If we successfully adopt a push system we can remove time researching/polling for content, the writer just needs to compile it
- We might want some budget for management/expanding the readership but we could consider this and open another Loomio poll later
