you should just subscribe to JavaScript Weekly
Thanks for the pointer; I wasn't actually aware of that site. I tried to be careful not to suggest that the TC39 members themselves should be doing more outreach, not that you're not all capable of it, but it is a lot of work.
I've cc'ed es-discuss
I figure most of the TC39 members are also on public-script-coord, but that's fine. Thanks!
