I will open an issue on RedMine soon but let's discuss here what it is 
that we want in terms of needs.
What I see (feel free to add to it, of course!):

* one actual newsletter sent to specific lists on the projects 
(projects@ marketing@ + dev@): this is the standard, text only 
newsletter.
* another one -same content, different looks- that's published for the 
outside world to see. No one will look for it on the wiki so we need a 
blog platform, a webpage on the site, or something visually pleasing and 
easily searchable and retrievable, like www.libreoffice.org/newsletter 
or somesuch.
* one platform that's in the form of lxer; somewhat more technical than 
the newsletter and slightly more focused. To me this last need is 
perhaps more important than the two others as it encompasses them, but 
it is also the more demanding in terms of resources and skills. The 
audience is really the community of LibreOffice and more specifically 
people who contribute to the project. Meaning, people who will find the 
content to be either downright informative ("I just didn't know that but 
now it makes sense") or at least providing helpful background ("beta 1 
comes in two weeks, where do we stand with regard to our localization 
project?")

Once I've written my comments above I realize that you focused more on 
the content production. :-)
I believe we should make it easy for people to contribute content, 
therefore latex, vim, emacs (I use emacs) are effective tools but keep 
in mind only a short portion of us here use them.

My guess would be to use a dedicated space on the wiki for content 
production. It is collaborative enough and can be reused in different 
formats (webpage, newsletter, feeds, etc.)

What do you think?

Best,

Charles.
