~RPG Maker Resource Kit July Newsletter~

Introduction
This is not something we tried before, but as is the case with all great ideas, we saw it elsewhere and stole it. Basically, the monthly Newsletter is intended to give a brief summary of notable developments on RMRK over the past month, and will regularly be posted around the end of the month. Since this is the first month, we are going to break the rules. Quite frequently, actually. Anyway, the best introduction to the newsletter is to read it. Which makes it not an introduction at all, but like I said, we're breaking all the rules.
Also, I know we promised nipples, but we were lying to get your attention. We humbly apologize and request your forgiveness.
Highlights
This is a section devoted to notable general news, such as the PotM and any significant achievements such as a finished project.
Despite description text clearly stating "NO IROCKS ALOUD [sic]", a wild Irock (http://rmrk.net/index.php?action=profile;u=2697) has been spotted lurking around the Mod Hut and sporting a fancy green badge. (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,34148.0.html)
Starfyre is a mod now, but who cares? :V
Malson has recently posted six excellent songs for use in any project (as long as he is credited). See Malson's Music Resources (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,33513.msg405076.html#msg405076) or live to regret it.
This is old news, but there is an RMVX Scripts Index (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,31844.0.html) available for easier navigation of the database scripts.
An RMVX Resource Links (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,33327.0.html) topic now exists which can direct you to many excellent sites for obtaning resources. If there are any good sites missing, feel free to suggest them and they will be added to the list.
Finding scripts is a lot easier than you think - see the Script Searching Tutorial (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,32911.0.html) for tips on finding that elusive script.
Project of the Month
The selection process for Project of the Month is currently undergoing some major changes. For this month, we are attempting to choose the Project of the Month through a nomination-vote system. Hence the lateness for a new project of the Month. July's PotM was:

Want to Help?
I am looking for anyone interested in writing Community Update, Other Maker News, and RMXP News sections of the Newsletter. If you are interested and have a suitable knowledge of any of those areas, please volunteer in this topic and I will select whoever I think is best suited for the job. Also, if you can think of any other section or subsection that you'd like to write and that you think would make sense to be included in the newsletter, then feel free to suggest it.
