Community news
On this page, you can post news items that will be seen in the top right section of the frontpage. You can use this to post if you have created something of interest to the Spring community, such as a new map, a useful tool or perhaps a new useful page in the wiki.
To add a new newsitem, just add a new entry at the top. You will then have to click on this link to make the update live. The news is published on the frontpage through the means of RSS, the source document can be found here for anyone interested.
The format of this might be changed in the future depending on how it turns out.. An alternative would be to have a news forum similar to the current frontpage news, but that would require moderation efforts or dedicated news posters. In this way anyone who wants can help out and remove inappropriate posts etc.. Sounds good in theory at least. :)
The first paragraph or the first 130 characters of the text, whichever is shortest, is shown under the headline.

2005-07-03 - Community news section
A new site feature has been added, that allows users to contribute news that will be seen in this section.
This might be useful to expose new maps for example to those that don't visit the map forum regularly.. We'll see how it turns out.
