How about a page (clearly pointed from the front page) that has an
archive of the last few days list messags? That would provide date and
activity cues and recent news all in one. Have an auto update process
running somewhere maybe once or twice a day to keep it fresh.

Likewise on the downloads page, it must surely be possible to arrange
things so that it can point directly to the latest test-pilot image
along with a date as well as the latest 'probably safe' and 'really
pretty solid' images.
