If this is only about "goings-on" for one, local Wikipedia, this can work. But not a global wikipedia "going-on".
To make this work you need a highly developed respected procedural structure for spreading information across all Wikipedias and languages. And time also for the migration of the information and feedback. There is no hope for this in the current organisation structure.
That's pretty much what the "embassy" pages were intended to do, but unfortunately it takes a lot of dedication to keep up such pages, and we're all so busy doing all the other things we're here
It may be possible for creating an internal monthly Wikimedia newsletter. For reporting the news of changes to the software, organisation or whatever news that can be nice to know for all users of the WikiMedia projects. Possible, not easy.
A number of large free software projects have weekly summaries of the development mailing lists, which may serve as a useful example: * http://winehq.com/?issue=216 * http://www.kerneltraffic.org/kernel-traffic/latest.html
