I was definately thinking about monthly, some other projects do that successfully. Maybe both could work as well, the monthly post could almost be a digest. > Could we use guix pull --news datas here? Yeah, I was thinking about this too.

So currently there a link at the bottom of the posts: "View comparison data", which links to the Guix Data Service page where the data is fetched from, and that does give the commit (at least in the short form). But yeah, adding the full commit to the post sounds like a good idea.
