#2I wish more companies were doing this.
What could be the factor that would prevent all companies to do the same, apart from laziness?
Am I the only one interested by the changes that are made on the tools that I like? I'm the kind of guy who reads all release notes.

There's a matrix-style screensaver for OSX that uses something similar (global events via API) to populate the 'matrix characters' with actual code. Useless, but conceptually rather fitting.

A lightweight approach we've started at my company:
1. Create a GitHub Repo dedicated to user-facing issues (https://github.com/scoutapp/roadmap)
2. Customers can subscribe to issues they are interested.
3. When resolving an issue, we reference it in the git commit, which closes the issue and notifies the issue subscribers.
We're a developer tool, so it's a familar flow for our customers.

#8Would be nice if they changed this:
https://blog.github.com/feed.xml" title="The GitHub Blog" />
To this:
https://blog.github.com/changelog/all.atom" title="The GitHub Blog" />
Right now there's 3 different RSS things on the page, and 2 of them go to the wrong place.

Neat approach. I've also seen public facing trello boards used to varying success (at the very least to give users a hopefully clear picture of what features/issues are prioritized)

#10Is this the source stream that gets turned into the GitHub BigQuery public dataset?
