I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who has any > thoughts on the above topics. I like the idea and I think it would be useful for people to see that the project is in active development. Personally, I find useful the lists of packages, and I think I'd like to see the number of new, removed and changed packages at the beginning of the news entry, plus bug activity (as others have already suggested). I have one question, though; couldn't these news be posted as entries in the current blog, tagged as "News" entries? --- https://sirgazil.bitbucket.io/
