Yes ! I never saw 'balsa' informations in 'helix code updater'.

'helix code updater' use XML file : 

exemple for mirrors location : 
ftp://ftp.helixcode.com/pub/helix/mirrors.xml

exemple for updates informations for the 'Mandrake-6' distrib :
ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/helix/distributions/Mandrake-6/updates.xml

If these files don't contain 'balsa' news, 'helix code updater' can't tell
about it.
I think it's easy to add others XML files for others softwares (defined by
user).
I think it's easy to add freshmeat news/update, gtk+ news/update and GNOME
news/update.
