I think Göran is still in charge of the front page. He wants to have a
side box with news feeds in it.
In any case, no matter where the feed goes, I think the team all agreed
that we wanted to see several appropriate news feeds _somewhere_ on the
front page. Each news feed area would show 1 or two sentences of the top
5(ish) news topics and then a link to each news item.

But, my initial thrust of the msg was just to make sure we had the top
center manual news current. It's too old right now.
