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.

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.
