Hi! Just dropping a short note that it is now finally possible to subscribe to the weekly Tech News bulletin[1] via a web feed to ensure a smooth, hassle-free delivery of every issue to a news aggregator of your choice.
You can subscribe to an Atom[2] or RSS[3] feed, which should deliver a new issue at 00:00 UTC every Monday.
At this point, the feed only provides the English version of the bulletin, so you'll need to click one of the links on top of the page to read a version in a different language — if you think that a per-language feed is a good idea, please let us know!
The feed is now also subscribed to the English Planet Wikimedia[4], so if you get your Wikimedia news that way, you'll also see a new issue of Tech News on the Planet every Monday.
Feedback and questions are welcome :-)

Small correction: the link for the Atom feed is https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=featuredfeed&feed=technews&a...

Thank you very much!
You should /change the order/ of the feed items to "most recent on top" At the moment, the items are sorted old =>new

It looks like the FeaturedFeeds MediaWiki extension's featuredfeed Web API module includes a language parameter already:

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to set up individual language feeds for the Tech News team, but the infrastructure necessary to do so seems to be mostly in place already, which is really nice.
