Yeah, I understand.  Adherence to the gnu scheme just isn't high on my
priority list.  I think they've made some mistakes in their layout
choice, I'd rather we not follow them.

Gerald> This, I admit, I know too little about to set up.  Any volunteers?

Haha, not me.  But I suspect it doesn't have to be hard.  Here at
home I'm running a very minimal setup -- blosxom in static mode.  I
write little text files and then blosxom patches them together into
RSS and HTML files, which I upload.

I suppose we could do something similar on gcc.gnu.org... check in one
file per news item, then have blosxom (or something) run to make files
which are then passed through mhtml.  (For all I know mhtml already
has a module for this kind of thing.  Do you know?)

With this approach we get relatively easy editing (still requires a
checkin, but better than what we have now), and XML feed (via blosxom)
and a way to get the HTML on our main page.

Really I'm just try to propose something so awful that some volunteer
will recoil with disgust and write something better.  :)

Gerald> Okay?

Looks good to me, thanks.
