Happy New Year @harding and everyone. Looking forward to what we can do this year and decade for Bitcoin.
This newsletter looks good -- short but links to quite a lot of content. I verified the links at the bottom and the PRs in the notable changes section.

I like the current phrasing because (if I understand the change correctly), the route hints requested aren't guaranteed to be added to the invoice---they're only added if the daemon considers the "channels to be usable" (e.g. they have incoming capacity).

We link to a line in the log a few sentences later, so I made this a link to the overview. I admit that this overview is particularly useful, but I think it's better than linking to the same file twice.

I've added details and announcement for the next schnorr/taproot workshop here. @bitschmidty / @harding - can you verify that you're happy with the wording? |

Phrasing sounds good to me. |

Agree that there is no place like home, but should be changed before release? :)

on 5th February 2020
Im not familiar with this phrasing. @jnewbery Maybe its just me?

Fine to change it to February 5th 2020 for now, although MDY is a peculiarly American date format. Perhaps we should update the style guide to specify DMY or YMD (perhaps ISO 8601).
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country for more details.

Sounds good. I used newsletter # 78's wording as the tipping factor for me.
The Optech newsletter will return to its regular Wednesday publication schedule on January 8th.
Style guide entry sounds good either way.

5th February 2020 is good; I vote for DMY or YMD / ISO8601 :)

When spelling out at least the first three letters of the month, there shouldn't be any ambiguity, so I suggest letting it be author's choice like our spelling rules. If using just numbers and separators, my vote is also for ISO 8601.
