People who know git world better, but do not\nknow how you are generating this list and for what purpose, may interpret\nthis as \"Here are links I recommend you to follow and read this week\" and\nincorrectly think \"why is this bozo listing these ancient news as this\nweek's?\"\n\nI do not think you would want that. You may want to briefly mention at\nthe beginning of each issue (say two-line paragraph) how the links listed\nhere are chosen, primarily to explain that these are not hand-picked by\nyou, but culled from the public bookmarks, i.e. \"what people are reading\nthis week\" or something like that.\n"},{"id":"98532","messageId":"94a0d4530812211904y5bcd8e48jfb7172c77aae900a@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"16809","inReplyTo":"m3ej02d3tq.fsf@localhost.localdomain","subject":"Re: Git weekly links: 2008-51","fromName":"Felipe Contreras","fromEmail":"felipe.contreras@gmail.com","sentAt":"2008-12-22T03:04:52Z","receivedAt":"2008-12-22T03:04:52Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"felipe.contreras@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8358?v=4"},"body":"On Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 9:50 PM, Jakub Narebski wrote:\n> \"Felipe Contreras\" writes:\n>\n>> This week tortoisegit stole the spotlight.
