Updated Resources updates?

Francis

A while back, FL responded to users' desire to understand better what was being updated by posting about the resource updates. As I recall it (and I may not recall well) it was not necessarily all that useful in the way it was done. But now it seems that it has fallen by the wayside altogether. Or perhaps I don't notice anymore?

Personally, what I would like is neither: (1) a useless list of what we can already see has been updated nor (2) an extensive description of precisely all that was changed which would be too-time consuming to produce and to read. What I would like is a short report like this:

• Fixed errata, typos: list of resources
• Resources expanded to Factbook/datasets: list of resources
• Added content: e.g., Lexham Dictionary. 

Again, the idea would be to help users understand the nature of the upgrades, especially something significant such as new resources now accessible through Factbook or an important fix to a malfunctioning morphological or syntactical resource, without asking so much that it becomes impractical for FL staff to produce such updates.

On the other hand, if FL staff is already stretched too thin, the question would be whether these updates have been missed sufficiently and are really needed enough to justify reviving the practice or whether "nice" might be kept to "but not really that important".

I also want to know what has been updated in an updated resource.
