In fact, sf even has a facility that lets you include sf releases right on your pages. So, if someone has time to code it, we might consider using only the sf news, reprogram the webpage so that news comes from the sf news items.Uhm, why? So far we went very well with the current scheme. We can agree to change it, of course, but it's not really a "must". So far we only post major announcment to the SF.net news, because we then usually get them on the SF.net front page. Otherwise, I see little reason for posting stuff via the SF.net news system... but feel free to point out any compelling reasons I am overlooking :-)
See http://sourceforge.net/docman/ display_doc.php?docid=1502&group_id=1#newsexport for info on that.
(but until then - remember to do a sf news release for each fink homepage news item)
I see no argument here NOT to use the SF news system. It has a number of advantages which I thought were obvious, like appearing on the project news section in the sf site, archiving, free RSS feeds, etc. And there would be only one place to file news items rather than two. I thought this was obvious, guess not.
"appearing on the sf.net front page" is an orthogonal issue, sf's policy for putting items on the front page is documented in the sf.net docs.
