Perhaps, seems quite useless though.
- forced peppy to record his voice and place to development side so audience just clik play and listen, and give the link to open peppy blog or something to read all the text
You were joking on this one, weren't you?
- embed video of osu!talk
If there's any video that is linked on an osu! weekly, then I agree on embedding rather than linking it.

I would love if we have some kind of retrospective summary of important people that are or have been a part of this community and how they influenced the direction of the game,Meta-Game,Mapping,Design,Mechanics and whatever kind of other topic could come to mind....

Like...what Larto brought to mapping..
how important woc2006 was to Osu!mania's Development
how LuigiHann contributed to Skin-Designing
Or how important Loctav is to this community
(because people should really cut that guy some slack, they don't know how hard he is working) *kappa*

TL;DR : More indepth summary's of people that have been a major influences to the community/game from the "List of notable people"

So it'll be understandable even to those who don't understand English (properly)
This is something I want to do, but I need to find people who are willing to translate.

I'll start embedding videos in the future!

I feel like this partially treads into osu!talk territory, but if there's any interviews or articles written about these topics, they're sure to be included in the weekly.

I might be able to do some translating from the norwegian side if that would help.
I have no problem reading/talking english, so the translating is easy itself, but idk if i can every week?

Italian translation done too :3
I'll ask around if someone wants to spend less than half an hour to translate it too.

"For osu!, we decided to let Baraatje123 pick their favourite maps."

This does not make sense and sounds wrong, I really think osu! weekly should have correct grammar.

What you are talking about isn't in the osu! weekly but in the Ranking Chart Announcement.
"Their" is for addressing someone in a neutral way as we don't know whether this person is male or female.

Whoops I got it confused. Maybe if you had of replied to my PM that I sent a month or so ago.

I know why you used 'their', but it doesn't make it correct or an acceptable substitute. Don't just butcher the English language for your convenience, especially when you're representing something. Either ask the person his or her gender and use 'he' or 'she'. It's also acceptable to use 'he' is the person's gender is unknown, and most people here are male anyway (sorry if that's not PC xdd). Or you could just change the wording. He are some examples:

'for osu!, we let Baraatje123 pick the maps'

'for osu!, we let Baraatje123 pick his favourite maps'

'for osu!, we let Baraatje123 pick his/her favourite maps'

You might be right. I will consider that in the next announcement!
Of course, I will ask for confirmation as well.

Going to state the obvious here, but you run the risk of opening a can of worms doing this:

not gonna delve into it, because it's not my place, but... i'd say leave things as they are personally.

They and their can both be used as singular when referring to a neutral gender. There is no butchering of the English language going on here unless you think Oxford Dictionaries doesn't know what they're talking about. Sure there's controversy over this particular use because of old grammar rules but it's been widely accepted by people for a long time.

How do people think about osu!weekly existing as an individual section?

Since it currently exists at the "announcement" section, I think it's hard to deny that the current form has a potential risk of some 'real announcements' getting burried by the weekly basis updating news.

umm Hellow, I just wanted to know why Nyquill isn't added yet to the osu!news team since he's the current guy handle such as the important announcement section each week. Sorry for disturbing.

Make osu installer better.

For people who are installing osu for first time, kinda confusing to choose install path. I recommend to make a good visible button to be pressed and choose installation path instead of text randomly on the installer that isn't even highlighted or something. Also that 10 second time to choose path of installation? I mean what the actual heck? Why is it even exist i can't get it. Why it is can't be better step by step installer, to look on terms of use, and then click next to choose installation folder and so on.

To make it clear first time i've installed osu it was in the directory by default, /docs/user/temp/... or whatsoever, and that is a hidden folder, so every time i wanted to have access to osu folder i had to make visible hidden files and so on...
Really annoying.
