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.

Hi Tuscan Contributors and Users, I have been thinking about how we can further enhance the flow of information in Tuscany. New interesting things happen on regular basis and information is either embedded in an email, in code/commit log, embedded in a webpage on TuscanyWiki or the website. Users of Tuscany may have interesting information to share, but not have a place to share this information. A new person coming to Tuscany may not be able to easily find the information in archive since they don't know what to look for. Users who are tracking the project may not have time to read the details of each email and would probably appreciate finding information quickly. Note that this is not a particular characteristic of Tuscany. It is just the nature of open source projects. Lots of good information to dig into in svn, in mailing list, on websites, etc. Here is a proposal. How about a news bulletin for each subproject that resides on TuscanyWiki and gets linked into from Tuscany website download page. This is a live page, contributed to by all. It is not a replacement for any of the existing communication mechanism. It is a quick pointer to information that will help people find the latest news. For example the SCA bulletin could be: Development bulletin board - Community is working on the next release of project. You can participate in this thread of discussion <ML thread> if interested.. - There is a quick guide to getting started <link here> - Major efforts in progress, example OSGI , Integration with Geronimo, ..... ..... Use your imagination... Anything that can be shared with the community to help them understand what's going on Users bulletin board - Here is a scenario that SCA is used in and here are some examples to share < link to a page that the data is> ..... Use your imagination.... Anything that can be shared with the community Questions: Do you agree that we should spend effort on further enhancing information flow or there is enough already? If yes, What type of information would you like to see so that information can be better organized? If you agree that we can further enhance information flow, would the idea of news bulletin work? If not, what else? I'll take care of the initial draft of the webpages if I know there is interest to keep these pages live, otherwise there is no point to just add another page to the wiki.
