I really like this idea‚ actually. It takes a lot of the pressure of of 
me to publish it, allows me to be more relaxed, and probably makes it 
more useful. I think I will actually do this.

One quick question though: Is anyone actually reading Agora Weekly? I
know they haven't been much yet, but there hasn't been much activity.
I will gladly keep doing it, but if nobody is reading it then there's
no reason to. I'm not looking for attention or anything, I just want
to know if my time doing that is well spent.


I read it, but then I already read the lists anyway so know most of the
information already (although sometimes it reminds me of details I've
forgotten about).

This sort of information is often most useful in retrospect, so that we
can look at events years after they happened and think "oh, that's what
Agora was like in early 2019". By then, we're likely to have forgotten
most of it.
