How much work would it be to fix up the right column on the main page?

Initial thoughts:

   Get rid of the individual dates ... change it to something like:


Latest News

Jan 2006
   Minor Versions ...
   Lattice SPGen vers ...
   PG Lightening ...
Dec 2005
   <anything in here>

Upcoming Events

Jan 2006
   PostgreSQL: Managing Roles ..
   Intense PostgreSQL Training ...
   PostgreSQL Training in Paris ...


   Also, truncate the 'headline' so that it fits all on one line ... click
on it to see the whole article, but don't span, in some cases, 3 lines ...

   And then just add the two new sections ...
