The news pages have been replaced with a version that sits under the directory News/. Under this directory there is a directory for each year. Every news item is in its own file named by the date it was released (multiple announcements per day can have a letter appended to distinguish them). The index files are created by a script that grabs the titles from the files.
This was done for two reasons. First, it will enable translators to translate only those announcements they feel it is important to translate or have the time to translate. Second, it will make it easier to include announcements that are already preformatted. The current template/debian/recent_news.wml file will be modified so that it will find the names of the announcement files under the webwml/english/News directory (this should be done RSN). It will then grab the translated title from any translated files that exist and get the rest from the corresponding file under english/News. Any comments or suggestions on this setup are appreciated.
