Improvements to the council homepage are planned, and suggestions on what you'd like to see are welcome.

There's also been the suggestion of communicating council "business" more vigorously via Twitter (#m.occ) and on the current Sprint page's "daily reporting" section.

I just feel like I am asking some simple questions and their seems not to be any simple answers.
Sorry, I think we've answered any specific question accurately and simply. If you have other questions, how about formulating them into a list?

If you guys feel my request is not needed I guess ignore me.
What request?

I am just saying if you want to get people involved, I think a better job could be done. Perhaps I just have a misexpectations of the council?
Get people involved in what? Plenty of people are involved in developing Mer, editing wiki pages, dealing with bugs, benefiting from the work of Niels and Jeremiah, downloading software, uploading software, and discussing on these fora.

When Nokia ask "do you want us to sponsor another summit, and where?", the elected council (and this is a representative democracy - not asking for feedback on everything) will steer and advise based on their opinions - and the opinions of anyone else offered.

You don't need our permission to do anything, and the role of the council as facilitators means you might not notice when we do things (which is fine - this isn't about glory, it's about getting things done).

It should be pretty clear what the council does (see my explanations above). It may not be everything you want the council to do, or you may have questions about its value, but I think questions of what we actually do have been answered.
