Nope, we publish only news directly related to the Project (releases,
events, etc.). We'll never be anything-remotely-related-to-firebird news
service. At best, we could show some article headers from FirebirdNews
using RSS syndication, but it seems pointless nowadays. Nice image link
to the FirebirdNews on main page would be much better, thought.

Yes, I know. I want to use SourceForge RSS feeds to feed our own website
for few years, but initial feeds were not usable, then SF was in
constant redesign and changes, then we're at the verge of complete fb
site redesign, so implementing some minor enhancements to "old" site was
pointless. But don't worry, it's still a planed feature.
