Noice. Adam, I'll leave this suggestion up to you. -- Andrei

Very nice! I don't have enough time to keep track of all interesting discussions or interesting language change so this is much appreciated.

However, to make it sustainable I would also suggest to make it "This month in D", the content would feel more curated and dense, also less work to do.

On the other hand, it's easy to loose track of things going on.  Maybe the middle-ground would be "This month in D - updated weekly" ?

Once the bugs are worked out, like half of this can be automated too and the other half can be written some time in advance.

For example, I now have the next two "tip of the week" bits written already (and if something else comes up, I'll just put them to the backlog, there's no time sensitivity or order requirements for these tips, they stand alone).

I don't want it to be too automated, I think that's not very interesting, but I am doing some of it that way to keep it more consistent. Worst case, if I'm too busy in a week to do something new, I can just slap together the automatic list of links, paste in a tip from the backlog, and call it good enough for now,

Yeah, I'll forget about things then.

A monthly one might be a wrap-up made by editing the weekly ones to the biggest bits and maybe writing more original articles, but I don't want to commit to it since I have a lot to do as it is...

My thought was in-progress goes under something i can push to at any time, then I'd to a PR for the finished project.

But it can move to dlang.org too, however you want it to work.

Done. Adam, proceed whichever way is easier until we work the kinks out. -- Andrei
