I've said it before but I'll say it again: You guys should really have a look at how Paradox communicates with their customers on their forum. Developers do their weekly dev diary posts and then engage with the community directly - communicating plans, taking feedback, good and bad, acknowledging mistakes and looking at suggestions for improving their games. Do I think the devs come here and read stuff sometimes? Absolutely. But we don't SEE them, and they don't interact with us, so there's no way to know anything is going on. PDX's system isn't perfect -- some members of the community are quite outspoken about things they see as a problem -- but ultimately it's a net positive, in the experience I've had with them at least.
If I might make a suggestion about the information given out on streams, some sort of summary on this website would be great, and it would be even better if each section could be linked to its corresponding section of the stream. Interested in multiplayer changes? Here's a summary of them and a link to the point in the stream where they're talked about. New season content? Summary and link. So on and so forth.
I'll also chime in with (and this is absolutely a communication topic) agreement that "known issues" should be a list of the confirmed, demonstrable bugs that the dev team has been able to identify, even if they are not yet presently working on them. Indeed, listing the status of it, whether it's being worked on or not would additionally be useful, but ultimately it's a matter of "How many times does this bug need to be reported before the devs take notice" when, in fact, they very well know about it but it hasn't been listed as a known issue -- that makes no sense. In general, there should be more communication about bugs and issues, even if it's just "We know about this, and we plan on doing something about it soon." Or whatever.
Anyway, I'll end the post with this: Working with the community on this sort of thing is probably a rough job. Especially in the condition it's been in, specifically with a lot of people feeling like they're being ignored. I wish you luck, I'd really like to see a more open, friendly relationship between ourselves and the developers.
This is really interesting, thanks for these points.
Paradox - I'll take a look at this. Dev diaries/videos is something I have considered and actually discussed for future communication.
Streams - See my other posts regarding the matter. I did once start a stream summary, but took it down due to a mods request of overlapping
this thread. However, I'm looking into writing up the post again with more details following the feedback/requests here.
Known Issues - Contact @NitroGlitter regarding your feedback
Community - I hope to bring a more open friendly relationship. Unfortunately it won't be an instant and more "over the next year" process, but hopefully we can improve this.

This makes navigating to official answers very easy and comfortable. On these forums here threads aren't automatically marked if you, JONK or Max replied neither are we able to directly jump to yours posts.
I'll take a look further into this and mention it to the team behind the forum design going forward. It would be better to have a bit of a colour differentiation.

All feedback regarding the known issues & bugs like should be sent to @NitroGlitter.
Personally, I really like the idea of a button saying "I'm experiencing this too."

It isn't transparent at all since I have no idea what really happens to the issue I've reported. All I know is that someone said you're "aware of" the issue, and yet it does not show up on the list of known issues (the page you linked above). And telling me I should take it up with @NitroGlitter directly is only going to pile on even more work for her and I imagine she's already completely swamped handling fresh batches of incoming tickets.
I was told by @NitroGlitter herself that I should just ask players to submit a ticket or direct everything feedback relating to the support page to her, hence why I keep suggesting this. In regards by the tickets, these are dealt with by myself, all the T10 community & support team with each member specialising in a certain ticket type.
I really like your "investigating" idea. I think currently, this is what "Pending" is under but maybe this is not defined well enough for you players. "Investigating" does seem more appropriate.

In all seriousness, a transcript would be great. Especially if the livestreams are organized so that each topic is covered once, and moved on from. That way there could be bullet points to note the various topics discussed at different sections.
I'm aware podcasts can be transcripted as I've done this before but live streams are a little different.
But for everyones information, I have started to look into this and hopefully can find a solution.
In terms of the bullet points, there is a content page/agenda which is shown on each stream. This would potentially make a good guide line for the 'different sections' which you have mentioned.

1. Why can't I create my own single player championships like in Forza Horizon 3?

For example it seems like their is no dedicated PM to get good business requirements from the start.
Q#1 - How many total cars will be in the life of the game and do we have a garage space for each one for each customer? Same for number of tunes and paints. If you can't paint every car you own why bother having painting at all? I understand people that love duplicates and such but that is more a management issue on their end not yours, 1 slot per car with maybe 5% pad is a business requirement at the start of the project.
Q#2 - Will the uneven game balance ever be addressed? No matter what the fan boys say, there is rubber banding and while it is not as bad as in the past when it rears it's head it just breaks enjoyment.
