Yes, this one. However I am not sure that it is still use by the new
web site. Is it?
Which scripts use news.inc?
You tell me.
To put things differently: how are the news of http://www.lyx.org/News
generated?
AFAICT, it goes like this:
* The wiki markup (:LyX_news:) and (:LyX_news_headlines:) is defined by
.../cookbook/LyX/news.php
which includes
.../cookbook/LyX/news.inc
which is a link to
/home/lyx/www/www-user/news.inc
which is manually created (is this accurate?).
* Finally the pages Web.News and Web.Home use this wiki markup.
This solution seems a bit silly to me... we could completely skip news.inc
if we liked and just put it all in wiki pages. The advantage would be that
when creating a new news item, you would edit a wiki page rather than
HTML inside news.inc.
Should I think about some actual solution where we store[*] the source of
the news items in a wiki page instead of in news.inc?
Is there some special purpose or additional use of these news items that
I'm not aware of?

[*] There are several ways. If we prefer to have one news item per wiki
page, it may even be possible to do it using just the standard pmwiki
stuff (custom pagelist template). Or we could store all the news item on
one page and have (:LyX_news_headlines:) extract information from that
page.
