Yeah - what's the status on that new server JD?

Agreed.

I'm not convinced that merging them is such a hot idea anyway. It will
likely seriously reduce the amount of time any announcement gets front
page time which will in turn reduce the usefulness of the section.
Further, we then have a potential problem ensuring we don't get
duplicate items when one gets approved on www and subsequently on
pgFoundry. That of course, applies whether we merge the feed with the
existing news, or add it as a new section (ignoring the layout issues
that would involve!)
