If there is content you know will be updated regularly, like a weekly  [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/brettlider/sets/154249/|cafeteria]]  menu, put it on the wiki rather than sending it out on the email distribution list. The Lunch Menu pattern encourages you to put time-sensitive content on the wiki.
