+
+**Editors:**
+
+Another month has gone by, so it's time to put together the Rust Gamedev
+newsletter with {{ env.NEWSLETTER_MONTH }}'s news!
+
+## Current Schedule
+
+The deadline for all section PRs is the **03.{{ env.NEWSLETTER_DEADLINE }}**
+
+We _may_ still accept PRs that are submitted later than this, as long as they're
+ready before the newsletter's release, but this isn't guaranteed.
+If you want your section to be included, don't leave it till the last minute!
+
+## Current Structure & Status
+
+Below is our current planned structure for the newsletter,
+and the status of each PR (which we'll try to keep updated).
+
+This is **not** an exhaustive list - if you have your own project that you want
+to write about, just make a comment on this issue and open a PR!

+## Publishing Steps
+
+- [ ]  Final review - by everyone
+- [ ]  Publish - by @janhohenheim
+- [ ]  Post on /r/rust, /r/rust_gamedev, /r/gamedev, URLO - by @janhohenheim
+- [ ]  Pin thread on Twitter - by @AngelOnFira
+- [ ]  Add comment links - by @AngelOnFira
+
+## How to Contribute
+
+If you want to help writing the newsletter:
+
+- **Read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md?rgh-link-date=2023-09-12T16%3A17%3A34Z).**
+- Choose one or more of the "🆓 **free**" sections listed below, and leave a
+comment letting us know you want to work on them.
+  - The links in brackets (like `[1](#), [2](#), [3](#)`) are suggestions of
+  links to include in the section. Feel free to add more!
+  - The username listed next to the section (like `@janhohenheim?`) is a
+  suggestion of who may want to pick up the work (usually the project's
+  developer, or someone who has expressed interest in the past).
+  - You are not obligated to write a section if you're tagged or your project
+  is listed! You're welcome to ask someone else to write the section,
+  or to ask for your project to be excluded from this month's post.
+  - Extra sections not listed in the plan are welcomed -
+  just leave a comment and open a PR!
+- Write a short overview in the newsletter's Markdown file,
+making sure to follow the style guidelines (see below).
+- Send a PR _to the `source` branch_ (example: [N15: A/B Street #336](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/pull/336)).
+- Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together.
+
+## Style Guidelines
+
+The full style guide is in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md?rgh-link-date=2023-09-12T16%3A17%3A34Z),
+but here are the most important rules:
+
+- Write in third-person perspective.
+- Each line must be 80 characters or less, for ease of reviewing/diffing.
+- Only one image per section is allowed.
+  - The maximum size is 300kb for static images and 2.5mb for GIFs.
+  - The image should come before the text, and must have alt text for accessibility.
+  - Prefer static images to GIFs, to keep the page load times down.
+- Each section should be under 1000 characters, and under 6 paragraphs.
+  - This only applies to the rendered text, not the markup.
+- Keep formatting minimal - no bold/italics/etc.
+- Avoid long/nested bullet point lists - no changelogs!
+
+Please use these templates as a starting point:
+
+**Games/apps/libraries:**
+
+```md
