I have a comment which might apply to any effort called "This 
Week in..."

My suggestion is to keep a very lighthearted attitude towards the 
idea of it being "This Week". Almost tongue-in-cheek. While it's 
no doubt a service to be able to provide publications on such a 
regular basis, there is a very small bus factor here (knock on 
wood!). That being the case, there will inevitably be weeks, or 
even longer where no issue of "This Week in..." appears. For 
people who take the title too literal-mindedly, there might be a 
sense of emptiness or even anger when for a given week, you're 
simply not able to put together the issue, for whatever reason or 
reasons, good or bad.

That said, I think it's a great title, actually. So long as it's 
always published with a tongue in cheek attitude, and with the 
idea that "This Week" really means "the amount of time since the 
*last issue* of 'This Week...'!" So long as everyone knows that 
whatever shenanigans occur between one issue and the next, "This 
Week..." will always arrive with the same humor about what it is 
and how often it actually appears. In other words, humor replaces 
what might be an overwhelming responsibility to actually publish 
the thing "as designed". :-)

I'm only speaking from my own experience regarding consistency 
and motivation for something without a lot of institutional 
backing.
