iPatch Project: 3 Month Memberships to Give Away!
Hey all –
So, I’ve complained on more than one occasion about patches not being sent out for the 2011 newsletters and to some contest winners. I know, it’s silly, but since recognition of content that the community creates is an essential part of this site, I’d like to try to help out with that.
Therefore, I wanted to propose a possible solution to you…
Here’s what I am thinking:
1. Drop me a note if you have 25ish patches and a little time on your hands. Also send an e-mail address to which I can forward them. I promise not to try to sell you any enhancement products : )
Or
If there is an archive of the 2011 newsletters on the site, please let me know!
2. I’ll assign you one newsletter.
3. You send patches to everyone featured in the newsletter. This may also be a fun way to revisit or discover existing Instructables and connect with other members!
4. Let me know when you’re done.
5. I’ll send you a 3-month membership code and mark those newsletters off the list!
6. If you receive a newsletter in which you were featured, let me know and I’ll send you a patch for that one!
What do you think?

Thank you for coordinating the iPatch Project!
Thanks to him and you!
If so just reply to this comment or message me and I will send the patches! And please answer my previous question as well...thanks!
The march newsletters are done! Got 163 patches left to send (Erik was kind enough to supply me with 222 patches ;) Send the next batch over and I'll get patching ;)
Coming right up!
And I was featured in two newsletters and both didnt give me a patch.
Sorry for not being able to help... I would gladly help if I can somehow get the patches!
That's too bad...I thought we had gotten a thing going here. Maybe they will change their minds. It seems weird to not let people have tons of patches in general.
Anyway, thanks for trying!
So tell me which newsletter to start on and i'll get cracking :)
Can you take February 3rd and 6th? If you need me to forward them, please send a message with your e-mail.
Thanks!
I would love to give out patches to people featured in the newsletters!
If you look at patches for the winners from quilting, game.lie or pi contests, you'll see that I made a patch out of the contest logo (just using trusty old MS Paint) and wrote 'Winner!' along with the contest name and Instructable title.
Post or drop me a message to let me know if that works for you.
Thanks!
It may take some time, so I'll send you a 3-month code for writing and wanting to help : )
I'm going to check out the contest winners that didn't get patches next since I may be able to get through a few of those before I run out of patches.
If only there were someone who could grant more...
Any thought which picture should be used for these newsletter patches and what message? :)
Meanwhile, I hadn't thought of an special image or text...do you have any suggestions? If not text itself, maybe a short list of points to include?
I like to design my own patches, to a general theme of a rounded pale blue square, with a circle in the middle (see below).
I have a special one-off patch waiting for a special event that should happen in the next day or three.
Thank you for your contribution to the [MMDDYYYY] newsletter.
It is [adjective]!
If you would like to help recognize other authors, please check out the forum topic: iPatch Project.
Probably a little more than just 'adjective' but I was getting into a MadLibs kinda place. Also figured I'd add the forum topic so people know why random people are reviewing old newsletters.
Additional comments/suggestions/edits welcomed!
You should have two newsletters forwarded from eye.patches@yahoo.com.

Already found it :) Seems that Randofo converted them into the guide format. You can find them under the "guide" section of his profile.
An example of the new newsletter is here: July 3 newsletter
