But even as a frequent reader of this list it is hard to follow the
development of all the new and shiny things done in and around X. Until
smth has been released, information about what's going on is scattered
on multiple mailing lists, irc channels, devs' personal blogs, etc.
Also dedicated news sites of some projects are usually updated
enthusiastically only for a short time after they have been set up.

Maybe people intimately familiar with the development of X could drop a
line now and then on this list about what's going on. I think many
would be interested in this kind of update and the barrier to do so
would be lower than writing an essay to be published on the web
somewhere or maintaining some news site.
