Just wanted to say thank you to Sacha for this. This is a great way to
get a digest for a newbie like me on how the community is doing.

Rock on Sacha!

Hat-tip to John Wiegley for the nudge! =) I wasn't sure how useful it
would be considering people could just read Planet Emacsen, Reddit,
etc. Still, might as well take advantage of my speed-reading, and it
gives me a good excuse to keep an eye on the awesome stuff going on out
there!

But many of us don't keep up with every service (I rarely, if ever, read
Reddit), because there are too many information sources to keep track of.
Having a targeted digest like this is a very valuable service for some of us!

+1.  It is easier to org-capture an email than a webpage for me (I read
Planet Emacsen mainly on my phone when commuting).

Best,
