I think the new Dev Tracker tool works great, but I think it would also be nice to have any related dev posts added to its corresponding "In Development" post as a reply. I only get the chance to view the forums once or twice a week, so it would be nice to browse this information a bit more clearly, and then go discuss if I want to.
It seems like something that would take little effort, and make the "In Development" section a bit more interesting to read.
If the moderators are feeling extra nice, it'd be cool to list a few popular discussions or the most active one for each "In Development" post as well.
