People don't often comment, but they read it.
I agree that I think journal/blog entries will end up with wider reach and more utility than weekly summaries, so I would tend to encourage those. We might consider monthly summaries, though -- perhaps the 1st Tuesday of each month (since releases are the 3rd Tuesday of each month). That's far less work. Also, I think they might be better written as "Parrot status reports" as opposed to strictly being summaries of the previous week's (month's) activities. Having rotating authors for the status reports would also allow for multiple perspectives on what is happening and/or needs to be happening with Parrot. Just some thoughts. Pm
