[web site] News page?

[Diana Shannon <sh...@apache.org>]

I think it's high time the Cocoon project has a News page on its web 
site. Is there any "historical" reason why we don't have one? Do we need 
to decide what's considered "news"?

For example, we have now entered the "book phase" of Cocoon2, with 
Carsten and Matthew's excellent new book (soon to be followed by other 
books). In particular, there's a free chapter available which is loaded 
with useful content (command line, logging, sitemap in-depth, etc.) for 
new users. This is *great* news! Knowing how hard it is, personally, to 
produce good docs, these books will be worth their weight in gold. I 
think we should announce them prominently to new users, not just on a 
third-party resources page, but on a News page as well. We should be 
very proud of these books, their authors, and the companies behind them 
who support Cocoon. Highlighting them on a New page would show that.

Do you agree? If so, what else would you want on a news page? We should 
decide, up front, what qualifies so they'll be no hard feelings down the 
road.

+1 for news page.

We can also add "Cocoon News" paragraph to the index page so people will
not miss this page.

I guess every announcement should be there. Some bug fixes (when lots of
people are waiting for this fix) also could go there.

Does this have to be a separate page? I think this depends on the number
of entered news items - if we only expect a few - two or three - we could
also add the news on top of the index page (main webpage).
But a separate page is also ok.

So: +1 for a news page/section.
