I'm not sure about the usefulness of this feature, or even if AUR packagers want it. However, if this goes on a day, my suggestion is this input should be an entry of .AURINFO. There is no need to clutter the web interface with editable fields. A typical packaging workflow would be: $ mkaurball $ <script/program to change announcement here> <path to src aurball here> "Developer announcement / sticky post here". This way, implementing this would be very easy, just a matter of parsing the correct entry and displaying it appropriately. -- - Thiago
