Sure, if I understand correctly there is agreement to the idea of a new
planet for "community news", and http://python.org/news/ would feed to it,
as would any UG that wanted to.

I also pictured this "community news" feed going to planet.python.org at
some point, if it proved successful.

Feed madness!

:-)

Thanks, all for considering. And let me know if I can be of any assistance
in implementing if you decide to move forward.
