Sure -- sounds like a reasonable idea.  Definitely include it in the GWN.
If we're going to start posting stuff on the front page as well, we should
have some guidelines for what is considered "front page worthy".  Just
because we get an obscure app-sci version bump into portage within 24 hours
of release doesn't mean all our users need/want to be informed about that
on the front page of our web site. :)

Well, at the risk of contradicting what I just said -- we need to publish
more information on the front page of our web site. :)  We always say this,
but for some reason, nobody ever submits stories.  I don't think it's
because the submission process is hard (send me an email with your story)
so I'm not sure why people don't submit more news.

Maybe if we sought out one person and made it their job to update stuff on
the front page and/or other areas that we designate?
