Shorter version

[xaur]

Current level of detail shows the depth of Decred as originally intended, but for some audiences like newsletter subscribers it might be too much. For example, Stellar monthly update is much shorter and perhaps better targeted for specific groups.

Options:

• Produce a stripped down version for newsletter as part of the standard workflow
• Add a short "Highlights" block at the beginning
• Offer two newsletters, "basic" and "advanced"

Quoting @Arriu #1:

I don't think there is the need for a shorter format, because your structure is good, so people can just skim through it and quickly get to the info they want, disregarding what they are not interested in.

Discussed here.

Among ideas proposed one was to split the journal into two parts: one technical and one social.
