I really doubt we need news on edu.kde.org. I don't think anyone is going to
check them regularly and makes it look outdated more than anything, that's
why I proposed to not show them on the front page and expect the maintainers
to update the applications news if they use them (and in case they do,
expect it to be up to date).
It's something we can discuss at the IRC meeting though

We have to think about a good place to put that kind of stuff and link it
from the website but I don't like to have to send people there to download
such examples.
