It's a great idea, Damian.

Glynn Foster used to write a really *great* weekly list summary report, 
but he hasn't had time since moving to the Indiana project. He pinged 
the list about this a while back. That's understandable, of course, and 
it's also an opportunity for others to take up and run with. And we have 
  a monthly newsletter, but that, too, has been spotty lately due to the 
fact that I'm simply out of time myself. I don't want to put out poor 
quality, so I've been trying to figure out what to do.

Newsletter (and inside the newsletter are links to Glynn's reports):
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/advocacy/newsletter/

So, how about we take a look at unifying these efforts into something 
new and useful for the community that is written from the community? I'd 
love for the Advocacy to take the lead on it so there is one place to 
archive community-generated news.
