Are Weekly Digests still being sent?

Hi

The last Weekly Digest I received for my wiki was dated July 10 – July 17. Have these been discontinued?

Thanking you in anticipation,

Fiona

Hi Fiona, I do not believe they have discontinued the Weekly Digest. And I have not seen any other thread stating they have not received them since the timeframe you have stated.

I do not like to guess, but I seem to recall there is a threshold that must be met before they are sent.The threshold is based on the activity on your wiki. I also think that in your case, with you being the only active person on your wiki, since July 17, you will not receive a digest, because you should already know what you have contributed, but your other members that have elected to receive them will receive them. You may want to check with other members of your wiki to see if they are receiving them.

Hi

Thank you for answering my query Crying Dove. I hope you realise your efforts answering wiki questions makes you worth your weight in gold!

I have received regular Weekly Digests since the wiki was created until 4 July 2011 (dated 26 June – 3 July). The next one I received arrived 30 July (dated 3 July- 10 July) and another one, and the last one, arrived the next day on 31 July (dated 10 July – 17 July).

I joined my wiki twice at its inception: once as the creator and under another name, obviously, as a regular writer. Neither of my memberships has received a Weekly Digest since 31 July. A number of new members have joined since then and also a few discussions have been active.

Thanking you again.

Kind regards,

Fiona

We're working on getting the weekly digests sending again. Shouldn't be down too much longer. Thanks for your patience. Do you find this valuable?

Hi Jeremy

Any progress on getting the Weekly Digests back up and running? As you are no doubt aware, without these regular emails the wikis receive a great many less hits each day. If no progress in this area can you suggest another method I can use to promote the wiki to members please?

Thanking you.

Fiona

I do believe the Weekly Digests were back up and running for a short period after Jeremy said they would be back up and running, because I remember seeing one in my email shortly after Jeremy posted saying they'd be back up and running back in August.

Jeremy should be able to shed some light on why they have not been sent out Fiona when he returns to work Monday, but he might take until Friday.
The reason is because he has been given more tasks to do in the office besides checking on us (which it's a good thing he still does, or god only knows how things would be right now). He sets a day every week to come and answer our questions, and address our comments or concerns about the platform, and how it's working/behaving. So far in the past, it's been Friday of every week, so I am assuming it will be next Friday before he gets on and adresses this.

I was just curious of there has been any work done on getting the Weekly Digests back up and running. There are many members who use this email to monitor the site and get onto the page. Thanks. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I am not sure if there is any work being done on the Weekly Digests.
I can tell you that right now, there isn't much Wetpaint is working on that is wiki platform-related. They don't have time. You can read the homepage for more information on why that is so:
