a new idea came into my mind:
In the past we had some events where an announcement was helpful. So, we

To get this done in a more dynamically way I created this:
http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/index_alert.html

Well, that looks much nicer than what we have had so far, including the
big headline "New: Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0 released!".

this line has a big advantage that you just have to change one file to show the text everywhere. I don't want to get rid of this great feature.

Sure, the styling is a different topic.

At the moment it's just static in this HTML file. But if accepted it
should be the target to place it in a separate file to get it integrated
in other webpages, too.
Opinions?

If we are to use this space for announcements, it's OK to have it on the
homepage only.

But, as Ariel once wrote, we could also look into including the
Bootstrap CSS framework to this aim, since it guarantees cross-browser
compatibility, it leaves room for customization with plain CSS and it
comes with a number of pre-defined styles, see for example
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#helper-classes ; so we could have some
common functionality out of the box.

Yes. However, any help from external CSS or JavaScript libraries needs some time to learn and is a thing for rainy weekends. I'll have a look as I see the advantages also for nice stylings that look the same in every browser.
