Asked and Answered?

So yesterday I asked why the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents--updated regularly since 1965--stopped getting updated once President Obama took office. Well rather than asking rhetorically, I sent a message to the Government Printing Office asking them what gives. To my surprise--given that it is the government and that I have FOIA requests that have not been answered for months--they answered me within a day! Here is there complete answer:

The Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents has been replaced by the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents as of January 29, 2009. The Compilation of Presidential Documents collection is composed of the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents and its predecessor, the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents. It is published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the authority of the Federal Register Act, (44 U.S.C. Ch. 15; 1 CFR part 10).

This collection integrates material from the weekly publication dating from 1993, with Daily Compilation material as published from January 20, 2009 - forward. The website will be updated frequently, as information is released by the White House press office to Federal Register editors.

I think the last part is instructive: "The website will be updated frequently, as information is released by the White House press office to Federal Register editors." The fact of the matter still remains that this move to the daily releases has not necessarily made it any easier to monitor the behavior of the president.
