I totally missed www.gnome.org/news - it was "below the fold" when I checked the front page, and I basically just didn't think to scroll down. So yes, this would be a good place to do a news feed - better than news.gnome.org, I think. What's involved in posting news there? > I have often found myself having to link to emails on gmane.org when > advertising announcements made by the release team. This looks terrible. > GNOME announcements should be GNOME branded and they shouldn't look like > they are from the 90s. I agree. In general linking to mail.gnome.org would be slightly better than gmane :) > We really need to get a proper process going for granting posting > permissions to gnome.org.

In the short term, I have a couple of news items for gnome.org/news which it'd be cool to get up.
