ahm, I thought you meant news all kinds. It's so frequent that a Talk thread goes up to the 40th post about something that is actually explained on the top news at http://maemo.org/news
Sorry for the confusion.

I like the idea of an "emergency broadcast system" which can be used to push single-line messages out to all *.maemo.org users.
However, the "all *.maemo.org users" bit is a big technical problem. There are multiple servers and sites all working together which'd somehow need to talk to one central server. The easiest way to accomplish this is probably a piece of JavaScript which is hooked into the MediaWiki template, the Bugzilla template, the vBulletin theme, the Midgard styles, Garage and so on.
This JavaScript could then add the current message, if any; without having to coordinate updates and communication at the server level between these disparate services.

The current news item, BTW, has been buried by 3 people. Time to revisit the "don't overly promote anything which has been thumbed" policy or provide an admin override for key news.

Maybe certain news items, like status from maemo.org team, could be made "immune" to thumbs?

I love the idea of a 'status' and 'vital news' ticker feed. As someone who seems to have spent the weekend redirecting people to the 'repos down' thread, anything that answers a question like that before someone starts a thread asking, which the mods then have to merge, would be a great asset.
If it were taking the feed from the general news, I would suggest that Someone Important (or a few Someones) should have the authority to hit some sort of over-ride to ensure that something vital remains in the feed for as long as is necessary - in the case of the repos, until they're back.

But, but, the weekly news is actually totally unrelated. The idea of this proposal is to have some kind of highly visible banner on all maemo.org pages to announce (critically) important events before we get 20 threads on the same topic by uninformed users.

I think it was called Announcement feature, for a single subforum active and the news was just an additional plugin.
As we do not use an all-in-one solution this needs extra coding for the layout I guess but shouldnt be a big issue at all?!
