I've already mentioned it in a comment (or more?), but I believe this topic needs a separate thread.
List of what the team is currently working on or will work on
I believe players would understand the aims and arguments of staff members better if we could see what the team is currently working on. Of course not a list of secret updates and surprises, but every goal you mention in the forum could have included in a list. Staff members could also "leak" pictures of what they are currently working on and chat about it in Discord, or there could be a forum section or social media posts about these.
When I see a bug or a mistake I always consider to report it or not because I don't want to mention it again unnecessarily. A list of known bugs would help us not to disturb staff members with something that a lot of players have already mentioned to them. It would also help to see information and updates about our concerns; it's not what the team currently does (at least I've never got any update from Prefects, although they promised.)

- There will be less unnecessary suggestions on something that is happening currently.
- While reading the list, another idea could came to our mind, making the progress and the change better.
- We could see that the team is really working and it would help us to see promised processes. (communication)
- It could help us to understand which task belongs to which department.
- We could meet a staff member working on a project and say thank you for them or anything. It would help to destroy the wall between players and staff members.
- It would also help Prefects to answer questions regarding to future events and features.

- There will be hopefully less questions about bugs, and less redundancy in messages.
- A good place players can look at to find information about their concerns.
- It could also help Prefects to answer questions regarding to these bugs.
