Hi,
unfortunately this never really developed into a standard procedure.
Additionally I don't think that VisCom currently is in a status that would
allow to just throw something at it (VisCom or "us") and hope that it will
be done. VisCom currently is not really operative.

One chance to amend this wrt to News is to better leverage Atom/RSS feeds
off our web site. This would reduce the effort on OSGeo's side to
maintaining the News page. News are currently effectively handled by Tyler
and Frank, if they are prepared to keep this under their control I am more
than happy to keep it that way.

Regards, Arnulf.
