Okay, I wrote a wee program in Ruby to get the data from the text

So right now everything is ready and could be put onto inkscape.org. I'll either need CVS access or someone willing to set it up that I

send the stuff to. On that note, how are databases dealt with on SourceForge?
If anyone objects to going ahead with this, now would be a good time

Personally I prefer the current system, but if this results in others being able to take over posting news, then I guess that's one less

for me to have to do.

We need to come to a decision on this.
I think it would be a good idea to use WordPress *if* people want and intend to post news with it that wouldn't otherwise post news with the current system. If not then there's not much point using it as Bryce doesn't like it and he's the one who currently does the news.
So I'm really looking for opinions on this -- if you have one please share it.
Chances are, I would update the news a little more frequently if it was a little less time consuming, which Wordpress offers.
One Q about it though... would we still have to run the "publish" script when changes are made? If not, that in itself makes it worth it.
