Subject: [development] new module notifications


Hello all,

Excuse me if the functionality I'm asking about already exists, but is there 
a way to get notifications or updates of new modules? I was talking today 
with a friend and he was telling me about this new module, he said that it 
was just added yesterday. I thought it would have been great if I got some 
notification (mailing list? subscription? etc)

With the explosive number of modules that encompass all functionality, I 
sometimes feel sorry when I develop something and find that some module had 
already implemented it. Searching is not always an answer too, as some 
modules are just glue and utility modules and won't usually be something 
you'd intuitively search for.

Is there something like this in place?
