 * I found the best option for the weekly reminder emails, via Gmail. The external service options are more involved than our purposes require. Does anyone know anything about how to arrange an Apps Script? Basically all it has to do is tell ten people, on Saturdays, to come and get their juice/poems.

Until someone knows what to do there, I'll send out manual messages weekly. If you'd like to receive these and are not getting them, please let me know.

* If you haven't read it yet, chapter one, on tetrasyllabic shi poetry, in 
How to Read Chinese Poetry is hugely useful for the Book of Odes, imo. 

* Remember you can also look at 
How to Read Chinese Poetry in Context.

* IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS WHO MIGHT LIKE TO JOIN or have other ideas, please let me know on 
this post.

* Every week I search the poems' English results to see if I can find any scholarship or neat bits and pop the results in Resources. Here is this week's collection.

Baike says that the hazel xing shows that harmony and happiness bring good fortune and good fortune brings harmony and happiness.

There is some discussion about how to properly interpret the hawk/fish stanza, but it seemed to come down on the side of it being about cultivating talented people?

Baike only says the last stanza says how heaven will bless the Zhou. The last line can be interpreted in two ways: either seeking good fortune/happiness without violating the way of the ancestors or without evil ways.
But your suggestion seems to make more sense to me?? Since previously creepers have been used to represent hanger-ons.
