Please do! I've done a couple of 0.7 installs lately, and the first full update upgrades just about every package. Even at a fairly minimal workstation install, it's a couple hundred meg.
In an attempt to keep Arch development activity more visible, we were thinking of setting up a development Arch blog.
This strikes me as an excellent idea. A blog like this exists for Dragonfly BSD (http://shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/), and as a casual user rather than a dev, I find it much easier to follow than all the mail that flies back and forth on that project's lists. Not just dev updates, either, but useful tips and links for users as well.
Another point to bring up is Planet Arch. The Planet is an RSS aggregator for some developer blogs. The one issue with the Planet is that it aggregates ALL posts from our personal blogs, not just Arch-related ones. A second point is that all Arch devs (official and un-) may not have personal blogs to use, so they will need an Arch-hosted one.
Depending on the blog software each dev uses, it may be possible (I'm sure it is with Wordpress and Blosxom, and 90% sure with Movable Type) to create a separate feed for a category. This might help to narrow the focus of posts on the Planet.
