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!
