Actually, it's only biweekly.

I can understand your concern, but on a similar note, I couldn't
personally have cared less about the bike counting project. On the
other hand, I've been checking each of the part orders -- it's of
interest to me what sort of projects people are working on. For
instance, laen started asking feurig (Don) whether he was working on
ARM based stuff because of his request. This sort of thing is just as
interesting to me as the bike counting stuff is to others.

That said, we have been discussing alternatives to using the mailing
list. I'm honestly going to miss having everything right here, but I
can see why it's frustrating for some. It's like the commit messages I
get on some development lists I'm on. For me, I usually just go review
the logs every once in a while. For others, it's handy to have
everything in one place.
