OTOH: are there any such feeds from QA and dev? I actually think this
all comes from the TDF planet.

Ah. I think I see your point. To me I don't think this has a real place
on the events section, which in my own opinion (but that's only mine)
ought to be an actual page with nice logos, links and even pictures.
What you describing ought to be on the *front page* with the other
feeds.

meeh. We'll keep the footer but we ought to do something smarter with
the page content :-)
