4 years ago I very much like the idea of having a page to show the changes made in the last year. The fact that they're already in Postgres DB makes this relatively simple.
However, rather than build a bit of Django or Flask infrastructure to have this page live-generate from a database, I'd prefer to have it be something static that we can occasionally update (maybe once a quarter or once a year) with minimal headaches. I would propose that someone write a short script that generates an attractively-formatted static page that shows the recent changes in a way that plays nicely with the Github site. We can store that script in this github.io repo, so that we can easily run it again whenever we choose to regenerate the page.
This option creates minimal overhead and fewer dependencies for us to look after in the long term. It will require a human person to regenerate the page occasionally, but a Django or Flask app will also require human maintenance (and likely more time and energy in the long run).

I keep thinking about our equivalent of the papyrologists' Berichtigungsliste (correction list), especially in light Joe's recent email about doing something at the MLA. As I've said before, I have a list, by now not quite 100,000 entries. It is kept on a Postgres database (I access it via Aquafold's Data Studio). It is a flat table with a wordid, and columns for curator, edit_type, status, defective_reading, corrected_reading and left as well as right context. It is not hard for me to imagine a Web implementation that supports sorting by any of these columns as well as group by operations. For istance the list below is a simple group by query that returns the 100 texts with the largest number of corrections. Building this is beyond my skillset, but I think it is well within the skillset of anybody who has worked with flask or Django. If we are successful the list would grow into the low millions, but a while it would work with a system that can scale up into the low six figures. I don't know whether one could implement this just as a webstie that uses javascript for sorting and grouping. My general sense is that if something falls squarely into the comfort zone of a relational database, that environment is the most robust and scales easily.
Below is the list. It's just as a easy to construct a list that has all of Elisabeth's corrections of Gerard. The titles with no curators come from the SHC corpus . I don't have records associating individual correctios with particular curators, but I have records that associate each text with one or more curators.
