I don't know the technical requirements for offering an RSS feed. As a user, I can offer that the lack of news from Trinity is unsettling. :(

We have a News section on the web site and eventually we should use that same text for an RSS feed.

Even if the news is not yet available through RSS, outsiders should see some sort of life at the News section of the web site. A two sentence announcement is sufficient to show movement.

We should release SOMETHING no less than a monthly basis. Users should know we are doing something other than cleaning the lint from our belly buttons. :)

In all seriousness I advise everyone to clean their bellybuttons quite often, a moist towelette or Q-tip will work wonders.
 

Yes, the big moment now is everybody waiting for GIT to become publicly available and the completion of the renaming project. Thereafter a weekly news bite announcement or two through RSS that particular noticeable bugs have been resolved is a great way to show progress and movement.

I think that this is a good idea - but requires time. We all know Tim is already limited for time and putting more pressure on him will likely make him explode :P 

Someone would need to update it (probably biweekly).

Ok, so there were a huge slur of messages. 

For one, Let me go back to my original list.

lwn - the longest standing linux community news, an awesome website.
h-online - provides relatively unbiased news about a whole slew of open source stuff (they even ran our release after I email them)
OSNews - this could be bumped off, its a bit general.

Why only 3? I think offering a whole lot makes sense.

Next, planet.trinitydesktop.org would be great! I would actually start blogging again :) It shows involvement of developers and also helps personalize those who choose to use it. 

As for the website, if we are considering dynamic content, RSS feeds, planet.trinitydesktop.org, commenting system - maybe it is time we convert to a CMS.
