Community ManagerHi Ben,
Thanks for the idea submission and apologies it has taken so long to get back to you. We are certainly working to do a better job of communicating to members about updates to the communities.
The issue is that sometimes we release changes that impact only backend systems and so while we have been focusing allot on stabilizing the new Aurora UI allot of the releases have been backend focused. When we do have a release, we publish it on the Community Lounge Blog.
As for the comments about the Lounge discussion space and driving adoption, we hear you loud and clear - we are working to try to keep these area's cleaner and some exciting updates coming soon may help people get their questions into the correct board.
Please do keep providing feedback!
