QM:

I'm not sure the frequency matters a lot, just show the last XX events of interest. If the database already has a user/level/date table (I have no idea), then it's a trivial fetch, and you don't have to worry about expiration time or anything.

Bikeshedding alert: This is what I'd do if it wuz me. However, it ain't.

I'd build a table (as already mentioned), and have the "graduation list" nodelet have two settings: the number of items to display, and a flag whether you want to see the "interesting" events (ones where monk functionality may change) or just all recent ones.

Finally, I think it would be interesting if being added to a group (such as pmdev, docsiteclan(?sp?) or such) would be interesting as well.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Good points on the being absent bit. But OTOH, they'll know their graduation was announced by virtue of seeing others being announced. And let's not forget that virtual tankard of mead they'll have waiting for them. ;)
