November Digest 2013

[Mystery 594]

We're changing up the way we bring out our Digests from this point onwards. We'll typically toss out new month digests on either the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd of every month depending on how long Github takes to process the total number of commits given in the month (especially if theres a lot of commits done on the last day of the month (30th's and 31st's))
