An idea I had is to post articles whenever -current gets a new cool
feature, or when -stable gets something worthwhile back-ported, etc. The
downside to this is a potential influx of "unwashed slashers" into
-current when they're not ready for it, but OTOH it would raise the
visibility of the feature evolution of FreeBSD (c.f. changelog excerpts
from linux kernels-of-the-day), especially when it's something Linux
doesn't have.
