If you do not subscribe to about:hacks, you will find the second issue in the archives. If you enjoy the content, consider subscribing to make sure you receive the third issue, coming in March.

Finally, we’d love to get your feedback on the newsletter: what do you like, what would you change, what topics would you like us to cover. Please take a minute to fill out the feedback form.

Yesterday, we published the first issue of about:hacks, Mozilla’s newsletter for web developers. If you asked to receive news and updates from Mozilla in our November survey, it should be waiting for you in your inbox.

About:hacks will be published monthly, and will include demos, tutorials, Firefox release information, the latest on web standards and developer tools, and updates on the Mozilla Developer Network.

This first issue includes, among other things, a demo that combines Processing and multi-touch, an HTML5 video tutorial, a preview of Firebug 1.5 and Eventbug, and a sneak peek at what’s going on behind the scenes at Mozilla.

We know you may already be reading the hacks blog, following @mozhacks on Twitter, and maybe even subscribing to mozhacks on YouTube, so we’ll make sure the newsletter is a good mix of original content and a recap of some of the most important things that happened in the previous month.

This is why your feedback is very important: what did you like? what would you change? what would you like to see in the next issue? Let us know and we’ll make sure to write the newsletter you want to read!

If you haven’t seen about:hacks, check it out, and if you like it, subscribe to get the next issue in January.
