That would be really really nice, but I fear we simply don't have
enough content for this. We don't have a lot of developers, and I
don't think many of them do blog.

At this point, I think a weekly newsletter would be ideal! I thought
about this a while ago and even talked to Lucas about it. It's good
exposure for the distro as well. Trouble is, as usual, who's gonna
take the time to write it. :) A summary of what went on during the
week probably wouldn't be that hard to compile, based on the mailing
lists.

We're two very lazy bloggers. :)
