Agreed. That was one of the motivations for the set of GCI landing page tasks
and is related to efforts by Sofat and Jacob to redesign the website. These
redesign efforts and other development activities (higher than ever) are the
main reason the news posting are lacking. We need a community manager
dedicated to making regular (good quality) posts. Ideally this is someone
actively involved and interested in volunteering to keep the prose flowing.
Cheers!
