Great job! Thank you. Quick suggestion: could you show the summaries directly on your first page, without the user needing to clicks links?

I think you should display the best summary on the home page list, and a link to know more about and other summaries. Put a minimum threshold for votes to increase first-page quality, and voila, I have a newsletter that I would love to use.
