The project aims to make it easy

that cover Node.js.

The project's approach is as follows:

I think it might be better to use a separate repo for these news. In this way, publications could subscribe to the notifications on that repository to receive the updates.

That could make it easier for publications but the goal is to make it easy for the teams and the project both in terms of workflow and discoverability. In the case of the node-api team looking for an issue in a different repo would be more work due to the way we use a milestone to review work each week.

Even if there was a separate repo the ask was not that a new issue be created for each piece of news, only update an existing issue/discussion so once the publication subscribes to an issue I don't think it will be any different in respect to notifications.

Therefore I think using an issue/discussion item in the existing repos is better.

ok!!

* Teams/groups can create a "what's new in YYYY" issue or discussion item
in one or more of their repositories. As an example see
[What's new in the Node-API and node-addon-api world? - 2023 version](https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/issues/446).
* Collaborators periodically add news as additional comments on these
issues throughout the year.
* At the end of each year the issue is closed and if appropriate a
new one is created.
* A list of these documents is maintained in the section below as a
quick way to find them.
* The next-10 team reaches out to teams/groups on an ad hoc basis
to ensure teams know about the option for sharing news.
* The next-10 team reaches out to those who publish newsletters ad hoc
to let them know about this approach and how they can find the updates.

We trust/expect collaborators to post project related news versus news
that promotes a specific company or commercial interest.
