(Monthly) development review

I'd like to create a (monthly) development review we can share via diasporahq and maybe the planet. It should include all contributions to the diaspora* codebase but should also try to be not too technical so even "normal" users should get a vague idea of what is going on. I've already started a review for December which we can continue until the end of the month.

We can share it in the first week of January and then start with a new review of the next month.
Help would be much appreciated. I am not a native speaker and I guess I already described some things too technical. Feel free to add more contributions as soon as they have been merged into our codebase.

Really like the idea. One of the most recurrent problem I've heard is that non-devs find hard to find infos on what is beeing done.

That would be fantastic. I tried to do that with DHQ (to mirror what the original core team did at the start of the project) but I found it too much work to do each month and also didn't understand a lot of the development stuff, so it wasn't that easy for me anyway. If some people who really understand what's going on would be happy to do this, it would be a really good addition to the communication. I'd suggest putting it on the project blog as well as DHQ.
I'd love to help as much as I can, which is most likely to be in terms of helping with the prose, and posting via blog and DHQ.
Thanks for the initiative!

Sounds like a plan. If you need graphics to explain textually complex things, just wave in my direction. :)

Is it ready yet? :D

@rich1 I hope we aren't done yet with diaspora* development for this month so I'd say no ;)
For the commits so far there are three commits done by @jhass which lack an explanation. Some of the other explanations could also need some improvements so whoever would like to help: go ahead and improve the review: http://pad.spored.de/p/development_review
