We already focused on the consensus: and we had pretty much consensus before you arrived ;-) We moved from the mailing list to the blog because mailing list are "write-once" and we are not allowed to review the content (moderation is done by a single moderator anyway). Also for us, non native english speaker, it is a big limitation to know that what we write will not be spell-checkable by others. The concrete fact is that most news we have on the website now have been written by me or Norman and we both have problems in english speaking: and you can probably find many errors. If we had a simpler way to publish content (in this case news) that does not require you to have a full checkout of 2 project (the project + the site folder) to run a maven2 build, to commit the changes, to check them and then go to minotaur for an "svn up" we could have better news and less active committers could have probably fixed our errors. That said I don't have big problems with the current way to publish content as most time I need to change the website I also have maven2 builds and everything else ready to be used (maybe that's why I'm the one that made most website generations in the last year). But I'd really like to find a solution that simplify the workflow for others, but I prefer to avoid a solution that will require me more time or problems than now (the mailing list solution). Furthermore, about the integration Danny showed us a javascript to automatically integrate the headlines in our homepage (it is explained in the message of the VOTE we called): http://www.killerbees.co.uk/mailfeedtest.html Stefano
