Sure, but people also don't have a lot of time, so I think the rate of generation of "what's happening" articles could be fairly low.   Also, having articles written for that purpose would be better than what we have now--what we have now is generally announcements of documents, with summaries aimed at people who already basically know what the document does, and often there will be several documents that would be best described to an outsider in a single short article.   So there is definitely potential for a better stream of information compared to what we have now.
