Introduction

I propose that the MDC host a new service where, once (and only once) per week, volunteers construct and publish a summary of each Mozilla newsgroup's major discussions and decisions.

The purpose of these summaries would be to make it easier for everyone to stay aware of the major happenings in all groups without having to try staying up to date on the groups themselves.

These summaries would be initially created in this wiki, and then posted to the MDC DevNews weblog. It is not my current intention to have the summaries syndicated to Planet.mo, but they could be if people think it would be useful.

Discussion

The original discussion of this idea is here. If you have ideas or thoughts about this new service, please add you input to that thread, or email deb@mozilla.com.

Formatting and structure

What not to include in the summaries

Many of the Mozilla newsgroups get technical questions (and, often, answers) that don't belong in these weekly summaries. Questions like "How do I create an XPCOM object?" or "Is it possible to break a JS loop in Firefox?" are not appropriate summary content.

If these questions have answers, however, it would be useful if that information could be added to the appropriate Topic's FAQ page in the MDC wiki.
