I agree that that would be too much detail, but maybe give a small
snapshot, or something like a list of files modified in the last 24 hrs
or someething, just so that people see that there is stuff going on, and
in what general area. Also, as you were saying, a general outline is
nice.
I just get the impression that many people look at the site, and have no
idea what the status is, or how close it is to being usable. Then they
come back in a while, and hardly notice any difference. I'm mostly
thinking along the lines of something that says, we're here, and we are
actually working on this project.
