If you want users to know that XBian is constantly updated why not put it on the main site? I agree that many people don't understand how apt based systems work and this would be the perfect information to put up on the front page.

About how apt based systems work (Debian site will have nice copyable information), how updates are coming not only from XBian but other repos as well, that new images are not the way to update the system, about how much bandwidth users save by not having to download 100 megabytes each time to update a few files.

This among other things can be placed on the front page, if the users need more hand holding they should use the forum.

the person who already have XBian running know about update, of course talking about someone who come across XBian and want to know what is it, on what stage it is compare to other distros, if there is anything newer or same, etc, etc. so without blindly trying to install and see what is it come out like after first boot not everyone have a time and like Kinder Surprise
Me, like most of the people I would like to know what I going to try and what I should expect before I put it and before I try it. I would call it a base information here, something to start with
For me, as for most of others (im more than sure) this would be really handy to know, so they know its up to date, so they know there is a lot of movement behind the code walls what only devs living in matrix can normally see. people dont need to understand code, they dont need to know the code and what it does.
All they need to know there are great people behind, inside this matrix world making it, improving it, maintaining it
But they need to know. If they dont see it, without searching and trying, they not going to take it. as by looking at something which has no information updated they never going to see whats inside, and thats why most of the people just passing by, as they dont see anything new here. Also if there is no movement on front page, nor the social media they not even coming here as there is nothing to bring them here
