I started this up last week (first Monday of the year) but thought it would be worth sharing on HN for any feedback or comments. I've gone for the sort of coverage I find most interesting, with key inspirations being Corey Richardson's This Week in Rust (http://cmr.github.io/blog/2014/01/11/this-week-in-rust/ http://cmr.github.io/blog/2014/01/11/this-week-in-rust/) and the old Ruby Weekly News (e.g. http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/200104 http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/...). Mail delivery is provided by Mailgun, with the necessary dynamic parts of the website handled by a simple Flask app.

  Thank you very much! My project will use this to help determine the need/best time to merge against ToT LLVM. Your link has already been passed around the office.

  "Subscribe" means receiving future summaries by email? That should be made clear. Looks good. llvm-dev is busy and sometimes interesting things happen in threads with uninteresting subjects.

    How would you clarify it? You feel it's not clear you're supposed to enter your email in the box?

      It's clear on the front page, i.e. llvmweekly.org. But on the issue pages, you instruct people to go to the front page to subscribe to the newsletters, which raises doubt about the box immediately below.

This is great, thanks!

Wouldn't it be interesting to make the page editable, for example in typical wiki-style like on kernelnewbies.org? Since much of your reader base consists of LLVM developers I'm sure this could further improve the content, as well as make it easy to fix small things such as typos.

  PiWeekly - http://piweekly.net http://piweekly.net is worth adding to your list There is no email version, but This Week in Rust (published at http://cmr.github.io/ http://cmr.github.io/) is excellent. It rather depends on your interests. PostgreSQL Weekly News is excellent http://lwn.net/Articles/578551/ http://lwn.net/Articles/578551/ as is Tor Weekly News http://lwn.net/Articles/578549/ http://lwn.net/Articles/578549/
