This is another good concept which the team would utilize in ensuring that the community are updated on the situation of things and what the project has been up to, on a weekly basis. This would boost the transparency of the team and could steer up greater trust which will help in getting better community support for the project.
you said it right..transparency and information should be updated..and hiway has planned to updates information regarding the project for the community and people involved into it as a weekly basis thats really a good move by hiway to gain trust of people and the community will be aware of the project status as well.
Do they have medium channel were they are publishing weekly update about project development and current status?
