That's the entire viewable area on my monitor, taken up by news, instead of an
intro to the product (which appears once you scroll down).
1. I think it would be better if we moved the "news" section to its own page,
and maybe had links to the most recent N items included on the front page. I
don't think the front page should be so dominated by those repetitive "X
released!" items.
2. as a fix, I suggest we set up an "official Apache SpamAssassin project
weblog", dedicated to important announcements like these. it should be pretty
easy, there's lots of good weblog hosts nowadays that'll do a decent job for
free. If we use a blog, it's pretty trivial to incorporate the latest items from
the RSS feed into the main site's front page...
