3 news items might be stretching it a bit much - the news items on FreeDOS @ SF aren't updated very often. Maybe 2 news item would be better.

Pulling the news feed does work, since the links point back to the right place. I have the feeds at:

http://www.freedos.org/include/feeds/freedos_sf.htm
http://www.freedos.org/include/feeds/fddoc_sf.htm


However, there's the issue of placement on the FreeDOS.org page. If I include these on the FreeDOS.org main page, I'm afraid the page will become *huge*. I can create a sample index page if you'd like to see it - actually, that's something I'd like to see. Maybe that means I reduce the number of FreeDOS.org news items down to 5 or something. I don't know.


Ideas? Suggestions?

Hmmm... I hadn't thought about merging the news items from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] page onto the FreeDOS.org page. It should be possible, since there's an html news feed that I could pull (daily) onto FreeDOS.org and include that in a separate "Kernel News" announcement-style box. The information might stay relevant (not too old) if I pull the last, say, 3 news items from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there interest in seeing this?

I could also do this with FD-DOC. Is there interest in seeing those news items on FreeDOS.org as well?

Just wondering, there is duplicate effort involved in having newsitems at
www.freedos.org *and* freedos.sf.net and there's already way too much
boring cannot-be-automated stuff involved for each release. Can't they be
merged somehow?

Hi, to avoid confused users downloading FreeDOS 2032 as "last stable release" or something, could you place an "FreeDOS kernel 2033 released" news item on http://freedos.sourceforge.net/ ?

Eric.
