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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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).
