Cyril Brulebois will occasionally post updates to his blog, which is syndicated on Planet Debian. That can help provide a bird's eye view of what we're up to for the casual observer.
How to Contact Us
The mailing list is located at debian-x@lists.debian.org . The archives for it are at http://lists.debian.org/debian-x. Most of our communication happens via these resources, as well as the bug tracking system (all bugs against the X Strike Force packages are mailed to the mailing list).
We also have an irc channel on OFTC (which irc.debian.org points to) in #debian-x.
