[xwiki-users] Show announcement on XWiki

I am interested in how others are making annoucements on their XWiki. For example: let's say that there's maintenance scheduled to the network, and that certain drives are unavailable for some period of time. Or that email is unavailable for a certain period of time? Right now, we are using email as our main method of communication, but I would like to eliminate email saying "We are out of water from 10:00 till 13:00"...last friday!!! Everybody is busy reading email about things which happened at some time in the past :-) How can that announcement be made "visible" on the mainpage of our XWiki? We could just edit the XWiki mainpage, show the annoucement and remove it afterwards (but that's not so sophisticated) What other options are available? I was thinking about the Blog Application, where the annoucement will be made. Annoucements could be a seperate category in the Blog. The XWiki mainpage should only show Blog entries of a specific category. Best thing would be if we could "publish" the Blog entry at a certain time (this is possible), and "unpublish" the Blog entry after the maintenance has been completed (not yet possible in an automated fashion, but you can "hide" a blog entry by hand). So, what methods do you guys using? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Show-announcement-on-XWiki-tp7580979.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
