Things are very seldom what they seem. In my experience, they’re usually a damn sight worse.

[Discussion/Decision] Regular Curial Announcements
Perhaps something along these lines has been discussed hither and thither before, and I've just missed it, but regardless may be worth visiting/revisiting.
Doing the curial report got me thinking of how we can get some of that information more out there than beyond the respective threads. The first thing that came to mind was forumwide announcements. It can certainly be done and allowed from an administrative standpoint, within reason and with certain stipulations of course. The only real issue is the continuity of content, which is likely to be somewhat dependent on the recent curial activity so can either be a lot or very little depending. But aside from what may be considered the obvious (basically anything put in the curial report already, and just reposted to a degree in a forumwide announcement), what else would be feasible and worthwhile, not to mention most relevant to the curia, to add to such a thing?
To add, beyond the actual content of the post, it should be something that Curial officers are most in charge of, namely the Consul and Primus Praefect. But it should be something fairly strictly curial, and while perhaps akin to things content staff does (especially news staff) it should still just be a curial run affair (it seems obvious thinking about it or even saying it, but that distinction still feels right to make now).
This is best as a discussion more than a decision for now so hopefully something more solid can come from it to be made into a proposal. And while this may not necessarily be something adding too much to the Curia, it is at least fairly laid back and easy to start discussing. And who knows, something done well with it may be a good way to get more citizens to look at the Curia more often, when there is a more obvious and tangible link to it across the site.
