Hi :) I agree that monthly would be easier for people to collaborate with. There is the other way around of people just contributing and if they miss one deadline for 1 week they hopefully catch the next weeks' issue. But people seldom think like that so a monthly release might be easier to cope with. Also although a LOT happens in a week it might be better to be a bit more selective and only include a fairly random smattering of what goes on. If people want the full play-by-play then they can join more mailing-lists/irc channels and this wiki-newsletter migth help pique people's interest more if it is monthly.
I think it was quite heroic to start it as a Weekly and i think that helped "get the ball rolling". I think we need to advertise it more within the community = and that might be better done monthly rather than weekly to avoid spamming the mailing-lists tooo often.
