I think the idea in general is very good (I would be a heavy consumer of such a thing myself). I am not sure how sustainable is to do it manually though, especially for larger projects. Maybe there is a reasonable way to automate this.. For example, if we could generate a 'dashboard' for each project, aggregating weekly progress with patches and blueprints, as well as mailing list threads (potentially grouped by tags associated with projects). Maybe stackalytics could be used as a platform..

But reading all mailing lists, and reviewing all patches in all interesting projects to get high level understanding of what is happing in project now, is quite hard or even impossible task (at least for me). Especially after 2 weeks vacation =) The idea of this proposal is that every OpenStack project should have "story" wiki page. It means to publish every week one short message that contains most interesting updates for the last week, and high level road map for future week. So reading this for 10-15 minutes you can see what changed in project, and get better understanding of high level road map of the project. E.g. we start doing this in Rally: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Rally/Updates I think that the best way to organize this, is to have person (or few persons) that will track all changes in project and prepare such updates each week.
