Per recent discussion, the news section has finally had some subtle but important changes!

All members of the cabinet can now post news items, which they can categorize into the appropriate section (by department). All news items will get listed in the "Latest news" block on the left side of the screen.

Then, the Internet Department can take selected news items of special importance and promote those to the front page, giving them extra prominence.

You can also subscribe via RSS to the front page feed or to the news channel for each section. Cool!
