Create a jobs digest #32

Some people don't like getting separate email notifications for every job. For those people, perhaps we can generate a daily summary of the jobs that were posted in the past 24 hours.

The summary could include a statistical summary of the stats for that day (high / low / median salary ranges; most frequently requested skills; ???). This might be appropriate for a separate weekly / monthly round-up.

One implementation approach might be to create a static HTML page that can live on the jobs.code4lib.org site, and which can also be sent out as the body of the email to those interested only in the digest version (we should include a text-only version as well, per email best practices).

I like this idea as a compromise, a compilation with job summaries and links to jobs.code4lib.org

I really like this idea too. It might be fun to send along stats for the day (popular jobs, skills, etc) as well.
