Email and word-of-mouth are probably the most common means of communication, but neither will necessarily reach everyone. General information and committee reports are placed on the bulletin boards, but few people actually read the boards on a regular basis. For stuff that needs to be seen by everyone, leaving messages in all the cubbies and posting notices in highly visible places works well. Cubbies are good for larger communications (ie, more than one page) and non-imminent date-related things. Time-sensitive notices that need to be seen are often taped to the front door of the common house and/or on people's front doors. These messages will often refer to the reports on the board (which are also emailed) or the information placed in the cubbies. With all this going on, anyone saying they weren't informed simply isn't paying attention.
