Then do not be angry at me when I tell you in the same fashion as Ben likes to tell people (grins)
Find someone who knows XSLT and alter our stylesheets, so that the news format is adapted to what you like.
Personally I find those "..Read more" link like news items annoying and a waste of my time. If someone wants to read a history auf news items, that is what the news page itself is for. It absolutely makes sense to me to only display the lastes 2 or 3, fully on the front pagfe, since we update our news item every xxxxxx days.
That said, I am done with my rant :)
I think the issue is a combination of a couple of things.
1. If there's news like "WATCH OUT FOR VIREX! IT WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM!", it shouldn't get rolled off because of a news item asking for more mirrors.
2. I think a number of us are uncomfortable with the informal nature of some of the recent news stories (I know I was, but not so much I would make a big deal out of it. But, since the topic is up, I'll say something now =). While it's reasonable for any of us to talk that way in e-mail, it seems rather strange to give that kind of voice to the Fink project as a whole.
In the future I think it would be better to post the informal form to fink-announce (since announcements still come from "Benjamin Reed" or "Darian Lanx" and not "fink.sourceforge.net"), and have a more formal no-nonsense version on the main site.
