Hi, I've also been missing the weekly updates - they were an fast and easy way in my busy life to be updated on what happened in the community. Now I find my self quickly browsing the feeds, changesets, mailinglists digest, djangosnippets, etc. a few times a week, to be updated.
An semi-automated solution where it would be easy for editors to quickly put together a weekly digest would be very nice. However, I wouldn't have time to help out making this semi-automated solution. A simpler solution (for a start) would be to make a detailed checklist over sources that should be monitored by an editor during a week, and then have 5-10 editors taking turns to be the editor of the week. I would be willing to take on this editor role for a week, once every month/two months, if we just have a detailed checklist of what to do during that week, and agree on a format for how to compile an django roundup.
