This is _not_ a "new format" per-se, but is primarily a demonstration of the external diff feature (all in 'todo' branch). While I think it is easier to view when I am interested in the differences since the previous issue (and that was why I wrote it) than the full list, its "incremental" nature cuts both ways. The primary reason I send out "What's cooking" is to make sure people are aware of topics that are _not_ going forward, to encourage them to be involved by helping such topics. When some topics are moved from Cooking to Stalled category, they will show up in the incremental report, but after that, until they start moving again, they won't be shown in the incremental report. That defeats the whole point of sending the "What's cooking" messages. Topics that are in motion are watched actively by testers, developers and documenters. They don't need as much exposure as stalled ones.
