Ah, no, looks like I missed that. I'll add it to the list. Poop, I have some
good ideas for a sitewide news system based on some stuff I'm doing at work,
too. ;) I'll put this one up for discussion, I guess it's more of a
long-term thing as Christian mentioned.

[ The d.g.o stuff will be up shortly, we're actually smacking the tarballs
out now. ]

Heh. :) Okay, is it pretty much block based? I'm not too familiar with
Squishdot admin. If you can give a quick run down, or even a link to a live
admin demo with this stuff available for perusing, I'll repackage the
existing mockups. Can we check all of this out without changing the main
site just yet?

Cripes, Gnotices will be the first Schexy GNOME site! Who'da thunk it? ;)

Groovy, thanks Michael.
