I would not like to add a direct dependency on the pgfoundry database,
given the track record that pgfoundry has for uptime.
I'd like to see some kind of RSS feed, because we already deal with
caching of them there. That way, the main website will survive the
regular pgfoundry outages (at worst it'll cache an empty file, and leave
the pgfoundry list empty).
Oh, and you need to figure out a way to integrate it nicely: see thread
of a couple of days ago about adding more stuff to the frontpage. (No, I
don't think mergeing it it with the "main news" functionality is a good
idea - at least not unless we moderate it...)
