It was Matt's personal project, hosted on a DSL line.

My idea is that anyone with access to the docs repository can update the
news, and that we pull news from the list, assuming that the target
audience for news is not on it.

That is what I meant.

We need to get this going in a hurry.  I think I can do something quick
that will be fine for our current intended use.  If people want to do
something fancier later, we can.

Really?  I don't remember that.  On the old site?  Updates were kind of
difficult back then.

I volunteered for this, and I will keep it going.

I will work on providing an RSS feed later, but I think it's important
to have news on the front page, like php.net and most others do.

Correct, the old site.
The only way I can see 
this working if someone volunteers to keep it up2date and really does the 
work, and not for the first week.

perrin++. I guess in the worst case if things stale down, we can always 
remove it later.

perl.apache.org is really a documentation site, it's not a news site. 
Perhaps someone could start /.org style modperl news site, in which case 
it should be much easier to keep it alive, by just letting others post 
stories. perl.apache.org could link to it and have RSS feed to it.

But RSS feed to what? Or do you mean RSS feed of perl.apache.org to other 
sites? I was thinking to have something like modperl.use.perl.org or 
elsewhere where there will be news posted and just have perl.apache.org 
include RSS to that site. So one doesn't change anything on perl.apache.org.

Replying here to Allan and Perrin at once.
No news is better than stale news. So I'm really -0 on starting any news 
sections. We tried this before, it never worked. The only way I can see 
this working if someone volunteers to keep it up2date and really does the 
work, and not for the first week.

Perhaps someone could start /.org style modperl news site, in which case 
it should be much easier to keep it alive, by just letting others post 
stories. perl.apache.org could link to it and have RSS feed to it.
