Currently the news are entered in the main space (CAY). We can
incorporate this on the front page via different means such as
* A custom Confluence template (not sure if it has enough flexibility
for a sophisticated branded look)
* A script that grabs news via RSS and builds the static page from that.
Like I said, I think the main issue is having a dedicated 'editor'
role. Currently I post news when a new release goes out. But it would
be nice if somebody who follows both lists and knows what happens in
Cayenne could log in to Confluence every once in a while and post a
short recap of the important events.
Say "cayenne 3.0 just added a callback mechanism that allows to
easily plug in business logic to the persistent object lifecycle,
bla, bla...". Essentially the things people normally blog about.
Borut has a nice blog (I speak two slavic languages and more or less
understand two more, so I can even pretend to understand a bit of
Slovenian :-)), maybe he can take on this task? ;-)

It'd be good to have a news section. There's enough material to fill
it. It's just that it has to become routine for the list
announcements
to end up on the web.
How would this work? Can we create a new CAYNEWS Space in
Confluence and somehow have recent changes from that included on
the front page? What tools do we have to work with to make this
happen? Are any other Apache projects doing this?
