There's been a request for an announce list for people who want to keep track of new hardware that is supported. RMS would like such a list to subscribe to, and I imagine some other folks who want to keep track of the project but don't have the time to read the main list might too.
I'm thinking the info that gets posted as a news item on the website could probably be sent to such an announce list.
What do you think?
Thanks, Ward.

Thanks for starting that debate. It's a good idea. Some news outlets may want to subscribe as well.
However, what do we announce exactly? For example, my Asus M2A-VM board mostly works with some issues. Do we announce that port once I feel comfortable with it? Do we announce each improvement to the code?
Regards, Carl-Daniel

Definitely new boards, and "major" new features. The list should not get more than 10 mails a month, or the character of an announce list gets lost on the way.
Best regards,

I agree - let's make one. \o/

Yes very important. We may even want to make it on a (bi-)weekly schedule, bulk things up and only ever send so often.
Carl-Daniel mentioned web News. It would be nice to automate the news section of the wiki a little, especially if we're now going to add another consumer of that content. Does anyone know how to feed information into mediawiki?

Wouldn't this work?
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:News
It also does RSS or Atom feeds :-)

Wrong way I'm afraid. This creates dynamic News information based exclusively on changes made in the wiki. Not really what we want. (Though I may use it elsewhere. Thanks for the link!)
I think these are closer to what I was after, in particular WikiDB looks nice.

is the logical extension, and looks very nice indeed.
http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Inline_queries what I want. http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Timeline is fun too. :)
