My only suggestion is to get a prototype, even a broken one, up early, so
we can look at the implementation and gripe about all the things that you
should have done 'this way' :-).

Actually, the slashdot icon of the most recent news article, linked to the
search, followed by a scroll of the current page of headlines, linked to
the main page would be really nice.
