I like the list of features. There's a higher probability of catching user interest. How about we see how this looks in practice and then decide?
Since the majority feel we don't need separate News/Blog sections I merged the news with the blog in one panel on the right (there is still a link to events).
It looks better like this. I'd even be in favor of removing the "latest releases" panel since they will appear in the blog. I think we should make the blog the one place to get news about the project,
+1
make the RSS feed very visible + have a xwiki.org twitter account that automatically tweets on new blog posts.
It's easy if we have an Announcement category in the blog indeed.
Publication of new snippets / applications / etc could also be automatically tweeted and/or posted on the blog, thus removing the need for a dedicated widget on the homepage.
There's only 1 potential problem. whenever the content changes the RSS client will receive a modified RSS content so it may cause the item to be marked as new again. Not sure, this needs to be verified. Otherwise +1, we could have a blog category for this too. However I'd display it not mixed with announcements since there might be a lot of extension changes.
