Yup... the front page is a logical place, and the rss thingy works too... for those that don't like opening webbrowsers too much (like me), use the rss feed, for the browser junkies, get to the home page straight-up (Then this may be asking for *tooooo* much :D, but maybe let the input to the front-page be the announce-only list? such that a script gleans the list messages and posts to the front page, that way you can also subscribe to the ml only. I know its asking for a lot ;), users... we're never satisfied :) ) i personally am rss fed by the dev blog already too, so may be we should find a way to consolidate them, and then the devs should *bless* one medium as *official* so if you don't check that... it becomes your fault, not the devs' fault. thoughts?
