Why not use some excellent tool for daily updates? just like jira, live demo here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/?clicked=j.a.com_introduction In our project, we make team plan and personal plan in jira and keep updating every planned task everyday. Then our community could watch the progress in real time.
Interesting. We're using Pivotal Tracker internally atm.
How would Jira send updates to the forums?
(We'd need to keep a fair amount of stuff unannounced until the right times.)
