Post weekly summary to Slack

[TimJentzsch]

We could have a background task that posts a summary message to the Slack once a week.

The message could include the following:

• General stats:
  • Number of total volunteers
  • Number of new volunteers
  • Number of active volunteers (i.e. old and new volunteers transcribing in this week)
  • Number of total transcriptions
  • Number of new transcriptions
• Transcription checks:
  • Number of checks
  • Percentage of comments
  • Percentage of warnings

This could give us a better understanding how we are growing and how healthy our ecosystem is.

The main challenge here will be to figure out the best way to do background tasks in Django.

This might be an option for us: https://django-background-tasks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ However, we'll need to figure out how to start the task consistently at a specific time of the week, even if the bot is restarted in-between.
