I suggest you subscribe to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News ,
which is an also weekly newsletter summarising new features and important
fixed bugs every week, as well as providing links to the detailed change
logs.
Not a bad idea, although every time someone says "xx needs to be
communicated better", someone else responds with "there's a mailing list
for that!" So far, based on recommendations from *this* mailing list, I've
subscribed to half a dozen other lists that, generally speaking, didn't
give me any more information than I would have received here. (Wikitech
Ambassadors? Who's sending anything there? Is it useful anymore?)
Some streamlining of communication processes, and giving consideration to a
quick and straightforward process to reach information that can be done
directly from any WMF wiki, would be a really significant outreach to the
primary users.
