I don't know if this is a problem, but then again I share Martin's
unhealthy IRC habit.

One suggestion I have is to use a micro-blogging service, like
identi.ca[0] (similar to Twitter, but uses free software).  In my
mind, this has the following benefits:
  * For most things that people are working on, it's been discussed on
    the list enough that 140 character will be enough to let people know
    what they're doing. (i.e. "Fixing some stacking bugs.", "Working on
    groupcompress.", "Fixing bug #nnnnnn.")
  * As it's only 140 characters, people will be much more likely to
    post a quick update than they would with a blog, the overhead is
    vastly reduced.
  * If much more than 140 characters are needed, that suggests that a
    blog or ML post may be in order anyway...
