Yep, if someone/some people are up for writing these then we can publish them

Yep. Anyone on Planet could (and should) feel free to do this

I try and pick stuff up for Facebook - you can ping me or the list with 
suggestions

I'd be happy to see a set of pages at community.kde.org/Promo/Material/KDE in 
the News/2010 etc that aggregated these. Particularly after releases and 
events like Akademy we sometimes have a look to see what news impact we had, 
but don't really document the results, other than in the occasional dot 
article.

Facebook, Linked In, microblog admins could then subscribe to watch that page 
and get updates when there is something new that might be worth posting.

Cheers,
Stu
