Description openoffice 2001-08-08 12:32:50 UTC 
The SourceCast infrastructure knows 'News' items that you can query by clicking 
on the news link on every projet homepage. Previously, we solved that manually 
by writing 'Top News: ...' in large font and bold into our XML project page. 
And the problem is ...

We want to announce our news to anyone who visits our page. That's what 'news' 
are there for. But the SourceCast 'news' thingies require you to explicitly 
search for them (click 'news') or to login and check the bottom of 'My Start 
Page' page for news in your project. We really want the current news to be 
displayed on our project homepage, so that even people who ocassionally visit 
will se them right away.

Unfortunately, each project home page is a static HTML page, 
and the process for maintaining it is manual - and the 
responsibility of the project owner or his designee. This is one I 
will need to mark WONTFIX.

Let me try to explain Daniel's idea for an enhancement of SourceCast:

There seem to be dynamic parts on the overall homepage (Summary,
Category, ... )

Why not extend the header block of the generated home page content by
a news section? This would look like

Project
Resources
-
Project
-
Summary
Category
License
Owner(s)
- 
News (Top 3 - if any)
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
-

then static content. taken from the www CVS modul.

This doesn't fit into "upgrade", but a nice feature for future
versions of SourceCast.

Reassigning to support for vetting and routing.

Hi,

This enhancement has been included in SourceCast 1.2.0. I am resolving
later as the feature will be available when the site is upgraded to
that version.

Thank you
Kat

As there seems to be no SC1.2 planned could you please update the Status 
Whiteboard accordingly?
Comment 8 Unknown 2002-06-06 22:26:14 UTC 
Updating Whiteboard. This issue is addressed in 2.0 and all subsequent
and related releases.
