Okay, I understand what you are saying here.
I probably would not have raised it if it wasn't for Bulia posting about RSS feeds, but from my point of view, as a user of WordPress already, it seems to make a lot of sense.
I'll see about creating some sort of rough prototype of how it could work. It shouldn't take more than an hour I don't think.
How are the current posts stored? In a database?

We previously discussed the idea of using a CMS such as WordPress to handle the news part of the Inkscape website. No real conclusion was reached, so I thought I'd send out this email asking for votes/opinions for and against.
If we decide to go for it then I could probably get it done this weekend.
It would be easier to make a decision if we could see a functional prototype first. It's hard to tell how this would impact the site without seeing it in action.
So far, I've been the main person who posts news regularly. I'm okay with and used to using the existing system, so would need further convincing of why we should change. I've been through several website adoptions of CMS's (i.e. Zope) that turned out very badly, so am rather skeptical of the value of CMS systems in general, especially when the users are technically skillful enough to deal with HTML, SSH and CVS.
