More technical committer, involved in specific feature, would probably blog around what's going on, new enhancements, etc... Release Managers would probably blog about what's being planned for the release, other could write a weekly summary as Haleh proposed. As for the notification part, or basically to be aware of new items posted, Google Alert is one way to get notified. You could also use other options such as google/ig, feed readers, etc On 8/7/07, Anderson, Jeff T (CA - Toronto) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I agree that this is a useful feature, you can never put enough effort into > making information more accessible, > as for the type of information, everything that you've mentioned below is > appropriate > -plus actual case studies of usage > -high-level roadmap items > etc., etc. > > ________________________________ > > From: haleh mahbod [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Mon 2007-08-06 15:31 > To: tuscany-dev; Tuscany Users > Subject: Tuscany Subproject News Bulletin?
