Good idea. Happy to help. I think you'll need several people to collaborate on this, though. It's just too big (and will only get bigger and move faster) for one person to speak authoritatively about. It would be great to have some summaries of the mail lists, too. Currently, we are welcoming community contributions to the newsletter, which is monthly at this point. We'd like to grow it substantially. And in the content project, I'd love to do some multi-media stuff with podcasts (would love some equipment for that, too :)). I can easily see representatives from multiple communities/projects getting involved with an idea like this.
