Perhaps I misunderstood you. But here all links on that page are blue, even the visited ones. I didn't see any green link there, the only green text that I can see there, are the comments in the code examples.

PS: I'm using Firefox.

No idea why it's not rendering for you.

Sorry, I was using "Incognito Mode" while I was browsing and yes the visited link is green and you're right about your claim. I think it should let the default color (purple) in this case.

Yeah, I think purple is kinda hard to read and wanted to change it but maybe that was a mistake.

Nice stuff. Definitely going into my feed reader. This really helps to keep track of what's going on. Especially since I don't have time to parse the forum posts.

Thanks

I have a comment which might apply to any effort called "This Week in..."

My suggestion is to keep a very lighthearted attitude towards the idea of it being "This Week". Almost tongue-in-cheek. While it's no doubt a service to be able to provide publications on such a regular basis, there is a very small bus factor here (knock on wood!). That being the case, there will inevitably be weeks, or even longer where no issue of "This Week in..." appears. For people who take the title too literal-mindedly, there might be a sense of emptiness or even anger when for a given week, you're simply not able to put together the issue, for whatever reason or reasons, good or bad.

That said, I think it's a great title, actually. So long as it's always published with a tongue in cheek attitude, and with the idea that "This Week" really means "the amount of time since the *last issue* of 'This Week...'!" So long as everyone knows that whatever shenanigans occur between one issue and the next, "This Week..." will always arrive with the same humor about what it is and how often it actually appears. In other words, humor replaces what might be an overwhelming responsibility to actually publish the thing "as designed". :-)

I'm only speaking from my own experience regarding consistency and motivation for something without a lot of institutional backing.

We're aiming for a clockwork weekly schedule. Sure, some weeks will be more interesting than others but there will be an update every week. -- Andrei

Great to know this is a collaborative effort. Suggestion, though: Every month, call it "This Month in D", and summarize the big picture. Putting this out every week without summarizing larger amounts of thought and energy will probably feel too frenetic. Creativity moves in arcs of differing duration. Likewise, chunks of Months - This Season in D every three months.

Or adapt as necessary, according to your "gut".

Nice work, Adam! (as usual).

I'm already looking forward to the next one :)
