There hasn't been a HWN since mid-December. I've emailed the editor with no response, and there doesn't seem to have been any (public) online activity from him since.
I hope he's OK, but either way, it seems that HWN needs a new editor. Any volunteers?
While we're at it, I suggest to potential editors to look up how HWN looked back when Brent Yorgey was the editor. IMO it was much more interesting to read than a mechanically compiled list of reddit and SO posts which HWN has become lately. That style is more time and effort consuming, though.

It can be a thankless task publishing HWN, so all the same I'd like to thank the current editor, Daniel Santa Cruz, for his diligence carrying out the duty for over 3 years. Also, before Brent, there was Don Stewart, and before him, there was John Goerzen. I think all 3 of them set very high standards for the rest to follow. A big thanks to them for providing so much entertaining and profitable reading. If no one else wants HWN, I'll do it. -- Kim-Ee

Notwithstanding the valuative opinions expressed therein, let me emend the earlier motion of thanks to everyone who has ever served as HWN editor. -- Kim-Ee
