I've taken the TechNews template and changed it for my purposes. I've tried
to keep it similar as much as I could do.
Please add your comments to the Template talk page to improve that.

How to define the collaboration team is not that easy because of our broad
scope.
I've added the concerned products, which may be helpful for readers.

What would be your suggestion? A 5 days to one week delay would help?

With your feedback, it will be better! ;)

Thanks a lot,
