I tried weekly. I did not have personal bandwidth for that. It actually takes quite a lot of time to do the newsletter, especially since I also try to update the website (a separate messy/hacky story). And since English is not my first language and writing short copy is harder than a long one :-)
The curation project would obviously help once I get to it, as the same material would contribute to both sources, just in different volumes. Thanks for bug report. The screenshot does not make it through to the public (as this thread is) mailing list, but I'll figure it out. I have enough info.
