It serves as a single, compact source with quick access to what 
happened in the last $TIME_PERIOD and make it visible for people 
outside of the core community (can be put on reddit, hackernews, 
etc.). It is much more "interesting" that having to search the 
newsgroup or GitHub for news.

I think the main important thing is "what happened in the 
community", i.e. projects, articles/books/tutorials and such;
for presenting D news (again, outside of core community) 1 digest 
with links is better than 10 small announcements for niche 
projects.

Data such as 'new committers', etc is much less useful. What is 
useful is mentioning big feature changes going to the next 
release or fixes to major bugs.
