</div>It has been suggested before. It just requires someone to write such a<br>
app and convince the different teams to include it by default. Are you<br>
willing to look into that?<br>

I certanly can build a web gadget with a feed parsing function so when you run the app (or if you have it open) you recieve all the important Fedora News in the moment they are generated, a "Notifier" to call it in some way. I can bring it to the Desktop using technologies such as Adobe AIR (I know we have problems with AIR because it's not free) But there is also Titanium, I never used it but it's suposed to furfill the air's functions being opensource. There is also another alternative: Mozilla Prism. We add this program to fedora and somehow create a launcher for the webgadget in the O.S.</font><div>
<font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Also, if we're going to work with web gadgets I bet there's a PLASMA WIDGET to serve as a notifier so there should be one similar app for Gnome (Like a Screenlet or I don't Know) But the other Option can be to put these apps for default opened in all major desktops, parsing the Fedora Feed. By Fedora Feed i refer to any of the news feeds of the project, it can be the Twitter Feed, one from blogger, Facebook, I don't Know (Or maybe we can build a new one just for these cases, don't know, I'm just giving ideas)</font></div>
