My recollection of the discussion was. (1) Have a 3rd party page. (2) Each language may have their own 3rd party page. (3) Each language can have their own news feed. (4) Each news item may link to a 3rd party page. Conclusion. DE page can have news about PrOOo and point to a link on the 3rd party page. Do we all agree?
