Ah, sorry - I hadn't quite realised. The reason I didn't suggest that was simply that we haven't carried that kind of content on gnome.org in the past. Carrying more news on the main gnome.org site could make a lot of sense though, and it's actually something I've been interested in doing for a while. If we were to carry more in-depth news content on gnome.org, the site might need some work (posts aren't shown as being provided by individual authors right now, for example; also there's no comments system, and it doesn't particularly look like a news site). More importantly, we don't have an editorial system, either to ensure quality or to schedule and organise new posts. All of this could be corrected, of course, and this could be a good opportunity to think about what direction we want to take. I can potentially help a little, but I don't have much time for marketing work at the moment.
