Suggestion: The first paragraph of every newsletter should have a brief one-or-two-line description of what WebRenderer is.

I clicked on the Quantum Flow and Photon newsletters and those don't describe what they are at all. I have a general idea of what Quantum Flow is already, but I have no idea what Photon is.

Sorry about that. Photon is a Design and User Experience refresh for Firefox 57, currently available in nightly builds.

Isn't a newsletter for those who already know about it and what it is and want to be informed about its progress? Just because it gets linked from HN doesn't mean it has to act as introductory page.

Good newsletters that excite the recipients will inevitably get linked to people not already familiar with the topic, and by ignoring them you're passing up on one of the best ways to get new people excited about your thing. A 1-2 line blurb can be very effective and there's really no reason not to do it.
