That sounds great! The development news are hosted on my gimp webpage and I am currently the only one able to produce them, which is not very bright (there have been some holiday weeks with no news because of that). I also host some new features descriptions with screenshots on my blog, but they are not many and not very visible. We would still have to decide the format of the public news / release notes (the blender graphical release notes are indeed a very good example), where to publish them, and how to allow several people to contribute to them (you and me, or more people). The Gimp website has a news feature that could fulfill those needs if I remember correctly, but I don't know whether that would be the best place to publish something like that. Anyway, I'm all for contributing to eye-candy release notes. I'm still undecided about whether these should replace the actual development news or not, I guess it depends on whether there would still be an interest for detailed development news (Sven Neumann proposed to add more descriptions to the rather bland reports I make) once the graphical release notes are there.
