Yeah, will add a cron job that sucks down the gnomedesktop.org RSS, so
everyone can still use 'ours', including the front page.

Had something prepared for the change, but if anyone else wants to do this,
go for it.

Shouldn't matter if we provide the gnomedesktop.org RSS at the same location
again.

I definitely want to do this, but not too interested in doing it
immediately. Eventually, I'd like to insert it all into the new news system,
and offer squishdot-like links, or at least computable redirections. So
yeah, that's not a priority for me *right* now.
