You could do interviews with developers about what they're up to,
but I think this is too time-consuming for a weekly publication.  I don't
have any objection to highlighting particular accomplishments, but I think
that in general, if they're newsworthy, they'll end up in the newsletter
anyway.

Another idea for a recurring item would be a tip, FAQ or solution to a
common problem.  The folks who do a lot of support on IRC and the forums
would probably be glad to contribute ideas for that, to help cut down on
their own workloads.
