I set up the digest so I didn’t need to send the manual one 🙈🙊

And that lowers the ability of this list to be an effective communication forum for W3C spec editors.

I’m biased, but I’m also a spec editor (and user of bikeshed and respec). I like to know what nee features are available and new. To be honest, I used to miss too much stuff with the manual announcements.

Is monthly ok though? At the same time, I want people to know what’s new. It serves its purpose.
