Added Files:
	NEWS-HOWTO.txt 
Log Message:
Added guidelines on posting announcements for the cweb project.

--- NEW FILE: NEWS-HOWTO.txt ---
See the SF news guidelines [1] and the CWEB news archive[2] for examples.
The basic structure for CWEB postings is:

     - Title

     - A summary paragraph that introduces the module(s) or other
       topic relevant to the announcement.  This paragraph would be
       the same for each release of the same set of modules.

       Since many features are broken down into more than one module,
       announcements should speak to the feature (GOM, RDFS SAIL,
       XPointer, Shruti, etc.)  rather than the specific modules.  If
       an annoucement is not linked to a specific release effort, then
       another topic paragraph must be crafted.

       A template should be crafted for security annoucements if that
       becomes relevant.

     - A 2nd paragraph describing the specific news event.  E.g., the
       new features in the current release or the relevance of this
       release to the other projects, etc.

     - A trailer paragraph describing the CognitiveWeb project.

       The CognitiveWeb hosts critical open source infrastructure
       efforts in web architecture, semantic web, and fuzzy logics
       designed to facilitate collaborative decision-making, critical
       thinking and conflict resolution processes. The goal of the
       CognitiveWeb is to extend human decision-making horizons by
       compensating for some intrinsic aspects of selective attention.
       See http://www.cognitiveweb.org or
       http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/cweb for more information.

     - URLs can be inline, but no HTML.  The use of [x] to place URLs
       at the bottom of the news article may conflict with the
       re-distribution of news.  It may be better to place URLs at the
       end of a paragraph per the SF news formatting guidelines.
