+1 to stand clear of XXXml ;)

I can't imagine that more people know YAML than basic XML.  I know I've
avoided YAML so far, since it seems pretty pointless to me.  I don't
think POD or a wiki would provide enough structure for this use (we need
a headline, body, date, poster, etc.), although I suppose we could make
POD work by requiring a strict structure for news items.
One way to do it would be to simply write into a large RSS file by hand,
and let a script grab the last 10 of those for the real RSS feed and for
generating the pages.
Yuck. The front-end doesn't have to be anything format specific. Just 
have a simple form for content management. I really liked the Bricolage 
presentation at OSCon, it's so easy to create and manipulate data.

Can you please take a look at how jobs.perl.org works. I'm not sure what 
they are using behind the scenes, but it seems to work great.
