* It allows the development side of our community to know what happens 
outside the borders of what they directly follow (very few developers can 
follow all the mailing lists of all projects). Resulting in better 
synchronization between our (independent!) development teams in KDE.

* It helps prospective new developers find out what is going on and what 
area's they might contribute to. Bringing in new people.

* It helps the wider community follow what is going on easier and more 
closely. Builds enthusiasm, increases awareness and potentially creates 
news.

* It helps the KDE Promo team prepare for release announcements by providing 
a good overview of what has happened in a given product cycle. Resulting in 
better, easier to write release announcements.

* Last but not least, it puts a spotlight on developments which deserve 
that. Motivating people and giving credit where it is due.

In short, the value of EVERY communication ANYWHERE applies to the digest as 
well... And working on it is an awesome contribution to KDE and a potential 
first step in getting more involved!

BIG hugs to the folks working on it ;-)
