++ Trends are good to see overall robustness of development activity, but for inquiring minds like yourself (and me too!), I'd like to see more details about the big patches/features that were merged into trunk in each of the major projects. It makes understanding the direction of the subprojects a bit easier and gives me heads up towards new stuff that may be needed in Glance or other projects. > Existing weekly review seems to > me > already perfect in terms of numbers; since we relocated to github it's even > easier > to see impact. +0. I'm not entirely sure I understand the point of the impact graphs in GitHub yet... I don't find them all that useful -- more of just a very colorful and rounded-corner representation of activity... but easier to tell who's making an impact (code-wise) on a project than trying to grep through Launchpad branch history! > Weekly news now missing the section 'Developing mailing list' (12 Aug was > the last one?), > where we could get overview of what are the major things were discussed in > the mail list. > I loved this section, and would love to see it again. ++ > If someone could do a similar summarizing of IRC talks, that would be > perfect. > I personally don't care about # of commits and who writes what (I can use > git blame if I need :)), > but it would be extremely helpful for me to see what was changed in the code > since last week. > Namely, what branches/bugfixes merged.

This is a good idea. Perhaps Stefano can send an email to the PTLs of the subprojects asking for assistance here.
