Add reference to the Bazaar dev blog to website?

Thu Oct 8 18:54:27 BST 2009

I vaguely recall some important issue in the past where someone  
suggested making a blog posting to reach users who aren't on the  
mailing lists.  I realized that the website is missing a reference to  
a bzr announcement blog.

It would probably make sense to use the Launchpad announcements (https://launchpad.net/bzr/+announcements 
).

The attached patch changes the website front page to
   (1) specify the LP announcements atom feed as the page's alternate;
   (2) list the announcements under the Support section as "News and  
Announcements";
   (3) and links the LP announcements atom feed at the "Latest News"  
with an RSS image taken from Launchpad's site.

Ideally the "Latest News" could be pulled in directly from the  
announcements feed.  But I have no idea what support there is to do  
that on the server.

Brian.
