R Weekly Team Space will replace rbot for several task
https://github.com/rweekly/rweekly.org/wiki/R-Weekly-Team-Space-Guide
- Create a draft with links gathered from GitHub PRs, R Weekly Live (see @rbot notes below), Slack #links-api channel posts, Twitter, Reddit, and other sources
https://github.com/rweekly/rweekly.org/wiki/R-Weekly-Team-Space-Guide#1-draft
This can be done on Friday or early on Saturday.
- Post a highlight poll in the #highlight Slack channel using the shiny app at https://github.com/rweekly/rweekly.highlights (you choose the 10 links for the poll).
https://github.com/rweekly/rweekly.org/wiki/R-Weekly-Team-Space-Guide#3-highlight
This can be done on Friday or early on Saturday.
- Pick a few images from some of the articles to include in the newsletter, and add a copy of these to the RWeekly Image repo (this is done to avoid bloating the size of the main repo).
- Link to the images using https and the https://raw.githubusercontent.com domain
e.g. 
- Images should have a maximum width of 800px
This step is less time sensitive so can be done immediately after step 1 & 2, or at a later stage before release
- Release a new issue on Monday, by creating a new article in
_posts. - Add the featured articles/links (based on the voting outcome) to the top Highlight section (this means that featured articles will appear twice - both in the highlight section and in whichever category they fall into).
This post should be name YYYY-MM-DD-YYYY-NN where the three first are the date, the second part being the ID of the release (year + number of the release). The header should be
---
title: R Weekly YYYY-NN TITLE
description: Weekly News in the R Community.

With this script sourced you can highlight a set of items including CRAN links then run process_versions() in an RStudio console to assess which items are new to CRAN (only have one version) or have been updated (have more than one version). The result is printed to the console and can be copied back to the appropriate section. Links in the original copied text will not be removed.
Alternatively, this script will provide new or updated CRAN packages as markdown text for you via process_cranberries(). See the script for an example of how to use the function. The function will also provide diffify links for updated packages.

R Weekly always uses HTTPS. To fix mixed content warning for images that are using HTTP, ask the copyright holder of the image for permission and put a copy of the image in rweekly/image repo.
If an image is very big, please consider using https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rweekly/image/...... For example, https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/rweekly/image/2019/ggplot2-flipbook.gif
