Simplenews Status Reset is a tiny module, that allows to reset the sent status of an already sent Simplenews newsletter issue to "not sent". This allows to resend a newsletter (e.g. to a different category) without duplicating the node or changing the status value by hand in the database.
I did not found any module, that offers this functionality. In fact, every experienced Drupal developer could write this functionality by him/herself in a custom module, but even for them (time saving) and especially for less-experienced coders this module may help a lot. We have experienced, that nearly every of our customers with Simplenews installed want to "abuse" Simplenews as a e-mail marketing software, administering different subscriber lists, and send one newsletter to a variable number of these subscriber lists. They can either clone existing nodes and set a different newsletter category, or you give them a possibility to reset the sent status. That's the idea and goal of this module.

PA robot CreditAttribution: PA robot commentedWe are currently quite busy with all the project applications and we prefer projects with a review bonus. Please help reviewing and put yourself on the high priority list, then we will take a look at your project right away :-)
Also, you should get your friends, colleagues or other community members involved to review this application. Let them go through the review checklist and post a comment that sets this issue to "needs work" (they found some problems with the project) or "reviewed & tested by the community" (they found no major flaws).

prabeen.giri CreditAttribution: prabeen.giri commentedI don't have any comments, however, I have a suggestion that just popped in my head. Its very small module with just 3 function and I thought it would have been better to ask for the feature request in the simplenews module and provide your code as a patch. Just a suggestion.

agoradesign CreditAttribution: agoradesign commentedHmm of course that is something worth to think about. But I don't think that this status resetting stuff is something that fits into the regular workflow/idea of Simplenews.

gisleAutomated Review
PAReview reported some issues. However, please note that these are not substantial and fixing all issues is not a requirement for getting through the application process.
Manual Review
If that fails for whatever reason please get back to us and set this back to "needs review".
Comment #9
PA robot CreditAttribution: PA robot commentedClosing due to lack of activity. If you are still working on this application, you should fix all known problems and then set the status to "Needs review". (See also the project application workflow).

peterlolty CreditAttribution: peterlolty as a volunteer commentedI sincerely hope a stable version of this module, and I reopen this because I found the Simplenews (the parent module) maintainer haven't reply the related issues (https://www.drupal.org/node/2426077#comment-10169712) for nearly half an year. Thus, this sandbox module is valuable to become a full module.
I checked @agoradesign has other full modules, so he has already grant the full right to promote a sandbox module, so would you consider to do this?

klausiPlease contact @agoradesign directly about this, the user has been approved already.
Once their first application has been successfully approved, then an applicant can promote other projects without review. Because of this, posting multiple applications are not necessary, and results in additional workload for reviewers!
Instead, you can post to the Peer Review group for feedback, here:
https://groups.drupal.org/peer-review/about
With this in mind, I have marked your application as 'closed(duplicate)'. If this is incorrect, and you do not yet have the ability to create full projects, then please feel free to re-open this application.

The old sandbox link won't work anymore...
