Re: Patch: FYI: gcj news items for web page

I like having a java-specific section.
The sad thing is, we actually have a lot going on, we just find it
hard to update the page with any regularity.  Plus, a lot of the
change is incremental, not sudden... but adding a new entry like
"hey, we made more incremental changes to swing" feels a bit odd.

It might be cool to have some rss-based system where we can post
notes about changes by component/user community/whatever and then have
them aggregated into a global view of gcc news. Especially if said
system had less overhead than patch-and-review.



I agree, its important for GCJ's identity to have its own news section. The rate of news updates is, unfortunately, too light - Requiring "patch-and-review" for news items definitely works against it. It would certainly be really cool to use the wiki or have a more blog-like way of posting new news items and aggregating them.
