I like the content of the announcement.
I still don't like the idea of manually editing index.html. I was
expecting/hoping for something like
Documentation/web/twits.txt:
-----
The Ensemble 101 is going on a European tour where they'll sing
music typeset using LilyPond. Click <a target=\"_blank\"
\href=\"http://www.ensemble101.fr\">here</a> to learn more!
-----
The Birmingham Amateur Theatre is presenting "Penzance Pirates",
starring our documentation editor Trevor Daniels as the talking lion![1]
-----
Project manager Graham Percival has successfully defended his PhD
thesis. Only two days of edits left to go before he hands in the
final version![2]
-----
Valentin is trying soy milk with his cereal. Still on the fence
about it.[3]
-----
and then the javascript would parse that file. I'm not picky
about the file format (it could be "each line is a separate
announcement; lines can be up to 256 chars long" since that's
probably easier to handle in javascript).
[1] this is (probably) not true.
[3] this is (definitely) not true.
[2] joke blantly stolen from Canadian politics. Also, probably
not true.
