I would think Consumer Roles, most contributors are already in the
know and on the mailing lists and meetings. <br>

I would think so. The 'insider' already knows where and how to find

Both would be great. There will be those who only want a summary,
but sometimes would also like a bit more detail on a specific
subject<br>

I would leave that up to the audience. But if this is a
communication channel - we should decide if it should be one-way or
both ways. <br>

If we are talking about the non-contributor - a definite no to
mailing and a huge yes to the first part of the list.<br>

Cross posting should be fine since it will mostly be a link pointing
to the main source of content - which will be a blog post of some
sorts.<br>

FaceBook? But I personally don't go near it.<br>

I do no think it has to be weekly, because perhaps that would become
quite boring - if nothing really happened. I would say it should
according to the need - but a minimum of once a month (even if there
was nothing exciting).<br>
