Where did we land with Beacon?
It's still 30 minutes to do each email in AC even with a template and List. At least.
If we had an auto-update mechanism to handle distribution, we then need only worry about the content.
Beacon was a great solution. RSS from a Stream?
There's also less concern over user error (select the wring list, or put in 404 link that you can't edit because it's locked in user emails, etc.).
