Amen!

You're assuming that information should be sorted in order of
importance [to you]. This is very subjective. Why not sort the information
on an objective criterion that visitors can deduce? How about sorting the
information alphabetically or chronologically?

I agree that this is vitally important.

This is extremely important. It lets visitors know what content on
the Web site has been updated and that the project is still active. Also,
posting news on main page of the Web site is the best place for this
information. I'd hate to dig around just to discover new/updated content.

Setting one up is very straight-forward if you have a spare
computer. Do you need some help?

I strongly disagree with this! I would think the project was dead
and never visit the site again. News is vitally important, it's the
heartbeat of the project.

Important based on what criterion? Your personal preference?
Different audiences (developers, vendors, users, etc.) have different
criteria for importance. It would be hard for others to make sense of your
order. Why not just sort things alphabetically?
