It would be nice if news-front.itexi was autogenerated, as a method of
generating the RSS feed if nothing else.

    Also, it would be nice if the dates used either the SI format (YYYY-MM-DD) or the
    opposite (DD-MM-YYYY), not the silly US date system (MM, DD YYYY).

    I'm no longer certain if we want to auto-generate news-front; I kind-of like having the easy control of which news items show up on the main webpage.  But it would certainly be nice to handle dates in SI format!

    It should be easy enough to run a regex search and replace on news.itexi and news-front.itexi to get DD-MM-YYYY or whatever.

    In the last comment Graham wrote that he was no longer certain that auto-generating the news-front was a good idea. I agree that it's not a good idea.

    I can imagine that we may autogenerate the last news entered (for example using a sort of <!--more--> delimit in a single news file, as in many web applications). But actually we want to select which items go on the home page indipendently from the date and this is not easy to do automatically.

    I would use this issue for two more important (and easier) concerns:

    1. change the date format
    2. reduce the noise of development releases news: keep only the date and remove the copy&paste text
    3. separate release news from other news: we may use two columns on the old-news page
