Howdy
Sorry for the delay in getting the issue out today! I was working on the back end system I use to get these issues sent out all weekend, and I'm happy to say that it's MOSTLY done. Still running into issues with it actually getting sent out, but for now it has most of the basic functionality I want (ie adding this intro, articles, sponsors, tags, summaries, etc). This actually opens up a lot of really cool opportunities once I've fully migrated over, because then I'll have every aspect of every issue in a postgres db, allowing for some interesting data processing possibilities (like finding the most popular article by clicks, creating lists of top articles based on tags). I'll keep you posted about anything interesting I make. Anyway, here's the issue.
