Also we can use bugzilla to generate graphical reports over a certain time period and also report fixed bugs as well as any new development.
+1!
Good idea!
And just to jump in here, the existing website is probably a good start, but it needs a PR team portal (where selected people involved in Public Relations can post/edit the news articles) and an RSS feed based on the news articles.
The portal shouldn't be too hard; I can probably handle that myself next month.
I keep hearing about the desire to provide a drive-through anonymous spamming...oops, I mean "comments" section. :-) While I agree with the idea in principle, I firmly believe that the mailing lists are the best place for discussion if for no other reason than the Email addresses in use by posters are guaranteed to be valid, thereby reducing/eliminating spam. Also, we would need at least two people who would be willing to check the comments section daily to remove spam and essentially moderate any discussion/postings present there.
If there is sufficient interest on the maintenance end then technically it is not hard to create such a commenting system. I simply don't want to see another failed forum attempt due to lack of support.
