Comment 1 for bug 129943

I agree we need a better way to do this and it would behoove us to keep the front page in sync with our other communication mediums such as the news blog and help.lp.net.

My first thought for this is to add RSS functionality that draws from a special category on the blog (that would enable us to post something only to the LP front page, or the LP front page and the visible blog page. This also would allow us to notify the Planet with no real effort should we want this) but also gracefully handles the case where the blog is offline for some reason.

Keeping our informational areas (blog, LP front page, wiki) in sync and sourced from as few places as possible will make the management of that type of communications activity much easier.
