I would really love to see someone stepping up and provide a regular/weekly digest summarizing the most important development changes, package changes and additions in the distro and the build service, and more (latest security announces, press/blog highlights, ...). But this can become a time-consuming task, especially if done alone/by few.

Good idea, but as a wiki page, it might quickly become a mess and if not everybody enters their new packages, it's usefulness would be limited.

Wouldn't it be better to generate lists of recently added, updated or otherwise touched packages out of the build system's data? This would be much more accurate at no extra work for the packagers.

A mail2rss setup for lists.opensuse.org is on my TODO. I just did not find any decent converter yet... Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

It has to be editable only indirectly (e.g. by mail - c.f. below)

Gmane already offers this. See http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.user for example and choose one of

RSS feeds:

1. All messages from the list, with excerpted texts. 2. Topics from the list, with excerpted texts. 3. All messages from the list, with complete texts. 4. Topics from the list, with complete texts.

OK, for example opensuse-commit@opensuse.org could be rss-ed. Yet what I wanted was something slightly different. Probably easiest way would be by having a separate mailing list where one can send alerts on updates of his projects, if these updates are ready for users. Together with some group keywords, this could supply the missing package grouping (nowadays only partly supplied by project/subproject division) in BS as well.

Maybe we could mark such important changes directly in the changelog.

If we are writing things up manualy anyway why dont you submit a story to news-submit@opensuse.org? We can then make a category Checkin-News or whatever... Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

AFAIU this news-submit@opensuse.org has some people attached to it. :) Yet new packages announcment is something whch can be done by a bot (hence my proposal to create separate mailing list which would be piped into rss).
