Nicola - while I appreciate your wish to push your project (don't we all) what you're talking about and what I was talking about are totally different!
The project in itself has nothing to do with it. I'm just saying that there are possibilities to solve a need with a different solution.
Solutions tend to be in conflict. Needs seldom are, if ever. What is the *need* that projects have for blogs?
I was trying to say that I'm thinking of solving what I percieve as the need in a different way.
Not a "do we want blog software", but a "how to make projects fulfill the needs they think blog software will placate".
I'm not really sure how you made the jump from my statements to where you ended up either...

I agree that providing a forum where news can be made available for projects in an easier to find location is a good thing and soemthing we should aim to provide,

Forrest already gives the changes of the projects also as an RSS feed, that is the pivot of syndication, the blood of all blogs.
I'm going to add soon a news.xml file so that projects can add news items for themselves and have them come out as RSS feeds.

RSS feeds are IMHO the first step in provifing an aggregated view of project news.
It's a trivial thing to do actually, just a simple xsl stylesheet. Anyone can put it in their favorite site publishing tool.
