I'm not a member of TAC and I don't speak for them. I am helping the
project and what I can say though is that if you haven't seen any
communication is because there isn't much new to communicate. 

I saw lots of email messages exchanged talking about threat models,
identity, sessions, privacy and other keywords on this mailing list and
these long threads may have given false impressions about the project.

I would suggest to pick the first point from the list on
http://freedomboxfoundation.org/learn/
        
   * Email and telecommunications that protects privacy and resists
eavesdropping

and start assembling software for it.

I would start putting together one debian image OS that runs on the
reference hw (the GuruPlug). Then add the basic packages that go in the
box on top of the OS to reach that goal (tor, anonymous remailer,
automatic gpg encryption...). Here things start to get tricky: on top of
apt-get there have to be sensible default configurations and an easy to
use GUI to configure each package. Anybody up to this task?
