I think we will need a submenu - but I am with you that it should be
located somewhere in the main content area (and not in the top link
line).

I don't think we should use twitter to manage our news. Its true that
twitter is important, but I think we need a master that is under our
control.
What do you think about using confluence and pushing the news to
twitter, facebook and others automatically? This should be possible
through the RSS functionality.

In my oppinion this is something we can't, and more important should
not control. If we want to build a healthy community, we can't start
to censor oppinions. But I guess this was related to using twitter as
news-engine...

My proposal: use confluence for managing news - but pesent a "latest
buzz" box at the start page as well (which includes everything postet
with #tap5 or #tapestry5 ).

> I see the same problem if we push last emails from the mailing list.

I really don't see this as a problem - tapestry is a community effort
and we should not be afraid of bad oppinions. Its better to have a few
bad headlines on the start page from time to time than don't have any
community stuff in place.
