Jason,

Ok, I've submitted the "Incubation Process Approved" news item via
announcements.  Should I migrate the older news items to the announce
tool, and remove them from the main area of the page?

It allows you to set a date/time when the announcement appears
and/or disappears.

Yes, I do.

I have access to create that, and/or would be happy to give you the owner role on the WWW project if you want.

Confirmed.  I have created the news_item at osgeo.org mailing list and
subscribed Jo and I to it.

Any chance you could fix the "News and Events" link on the left of the
main page under OSGeo Community to point to:

   https://www.osgeo.org/content/news/news_archive/news_archive.html
and
   https://www.osgeo.org/content/news/event_archive/event_archive.html

Best regards,
