NEWS: move to a single weekly news post to reduce noise + only report changes to lectures and major software (QuantEcon.py, mystmd etc.)

I think we should only report major updates on our quantecon website such as changes to lectures (and remove website updates)

the stream of posts isn't particularly interesting until you open them.

@jstac what do you think? Consolidate our news-reporting-bot and have a hyper focus on lectures updates predominantly?

Here are the first two weeks of posts

This is what the latest news feed looks like on the main page now

@mmcky

Thanks @mmcky . a single weekly post plus other ad hoc posts (a new workshop, etc) sounds like a good model to me!

Completed by #265, merged on 2026-09-29, by a different route from the single weekly post discussed here.

News now carries only announcements people write: new projects, grants, people, workshops.
The reporter's release lists and lecture updates moved to a separate Activity log at quantecon.org/activity. John agreed to this arrangement on Split updates into News and an Activity feed #265.
The old reporter is paused (Retire the old reporter's News output #274). QuantEcon/reports-activity#91 rewrites it to update Activity daily and merge its own update once the data check passes, so it needs no one's time.

The rest of the work is tracked in #271.
