Quoting @nikomatsakis from Zulip:

So I was talking to the person who runs readrust.net on discord. I feel like we need better visibility for the summaries and activities of the various compiler working groups. I was envisioning that it would be nice to have a central blog that just contains these sorts of updates and announcements -- basically, the activity of each of the working groups. In fact, I suspect that the blog should be project wide, with the ability to filter by team, by working group, or by other things.

The readrust.net author encouraged me to write-up an issue with more details. Before doing that, I thought I would open up some discussion here.

I've also been wondering about the structure of the weekly meetings -- I was thinking that maybe, instead of pulling from the groups, each group should push updates, content, and questions, and we can review them in the triage meeting.

Originally, I had in mind that we would go round robin because I thought it'd be useful to be able to see if working groups haven't been active with updates in a while. But we can do that separately just by having the updates organized by working group and checking for working groups that haven't posted any comments in a while (or, honestly, just monitoring Zulip). This could be a signal to go check-in and see how things are going and if we can do anything to help.

Visited during issue cleanup on Zulip.

Although we lack actionables and concrete ideas, this is still a good and still valid proposal, so we are leaving it open. One of the core challenges is who can be tasked (with bandwidth and the right context) for such announcements.
