How I get PR lists:

git log --author=bors --since='MM/DD/YYYY 12:00PM' --until='MM/DD/YYYY 12:00PM' --pretty=oneline > ~/entropy/twir.txt
# edit in vim to get rid of everything but PR number, copy into clipboard
for pr in $(xsel -ob); do firefox https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/$pr; sleep 0.07; done
# wait a long time...
# write TWIR

Alternately use GitHub search:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+updated%3A2014-11-03..2014-11-10

How I get new contributors:

Use the included new_contribs.sh script:

new_contribs.sh 6/21/2014

Building

Ensure you have SASS installed. The easiest way to get it is via gem, the Ruby package manager.

env SASS_BIN=$HOME/.gem/ruby/*/bin/sass pelican content -s pelicanconf.py

To build the newsletter

Generate the HTML

TWIR_NEWSLETTER_THEME=1 pelican --delete-output-directory content

Copy the HTML and inline CSS at http://zurb.com/ink/inliner.php - (MailChimp's inliner doesn't remove the CSS from <head>).
Send the newsletter (we currently use MailChimp).
