I've seen everything from post-by-post recs, posts with short/medium/long lists of links (with enough information to give an idea of what they're about/what should be warned for/etc), posting into a rec community, regular digests like you're talking about for the more organizationally minded among us.

The digest idea sounds very cool to me, personally, although I lack the discipline for something like that myself. But pretty much everything you've said is DW-appropriate.
