Dear kudra: Thanks for changing the title! Late night post. I've read the two "this and this" links before when I searched Perl Monks for "news." I'd passed those links over because one said "vroom MAY HAVE turned off" the newsbot and the other was no more informative in my opinion. I didn't consider either an authoritative answer as to why no news?

More to my point, if there's no automatic news gathering (ok fine), then why doesn't vroom (or whoever) open up the news area to manual posted news (by higher level monks only if that's a concern)? That last brief round of discussion resulted in no actions to "fix" the Perl News. I'm sure this site's maintainers have more important things to tend to, but can someone please give a straight (and authoritative) answer?
