I used to do something slightly similar to this in the past on the wiki, until I got tired since no one seemed to care :) http://wiki.debian.org/FrontPageNews The front page of the wiki used to pull the feed at: http://wiki.debian.org/FrontPageNewsFeed a few times a day. I used to use a simple aggregator that I made called Vitacilina [1] and used to insert it on the wiki with some simple WWW::Mechanize foo. Re-enabling such a setup would be trivial in case you guys want to add on top of that.
