Sounds very reasonable. A lot of changes happen in mobile, some are tangent to desktop experiences, and pro-actively sharing those updates while in planning or early stage, is a good practice. In addition, keeping the community updated and aware of what is happening in mobile, helps present the bigger picture of why stuff are being built/modified, and helps get more interest and suggestions or objections to what is being done. Similarly for new comers or readers community on mobile, understanding/learning more about what is being done and what is coming next, could be a step forward towards further engagement. Makes sense? If so, then the next question should be, where would this live? VP, email newsletter, MW, etc..:)
