Hey,
Great idea!
I've written a blog post [0] outlining what I did during GSoC, the current state of the project, and what I think are the next steps. You can use this, and I'd be happy to adapt it to fit the requirements for a The Signpost message if does not already do so. I'll also be updating the documentation on MediaWiki.org in the coming days, so you might want to wait until that's done.

Hey all. This message is primarily directed at those students involved with this year's MediaWiki Google Summer of Code projects.
Firstly, I hope this email finds you and your projects well. As I recall, the development phase is just ending, and, now that you have a little more time, it would be great to give your projects some publicity in front of a wider Wikimedia audience (all the projects appear to be applicable to at least some WMF sites; forgive me if I'm wrong).
I write for *The Signpost* (its weekly Technology Report e.g. today's [1]). If you're not familiar with it, it has a fairly sizeable readership, particularly on the English Wikipedia. I'm confident many of the Tech Report readers would be intrigued to know what you've been doing, how much success you've had, and what it might mean for Wikimedia sites, as explained in your own words (just a couple of paragraphs and a thumbnail where applicable would be more than enough).
If you're interested, and I hope you will be, you can either reply directly to the list, to me, or get me via my English Wikipedia talk page.
Thanks, Jarry1250
p.s. I have okayed this with RobLa.
