Sending to you instead of list because I'm not 100% sure I understood
what the question was having not followed the news list. :-)

We use Lyceum, a fork of WordPress, very negligibly different, for Red
Hat Magazine, the press blog, and several others.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking with this one. If the
question
is whether you can have the main feed plus a separate feed for something
specific, then yes. You can easily grab the feed of a single category.
Just tag those posts "events."

I
*believe* if you wanted them to actually put it in the blog system,
they would have to register as a user. IMO, it might be more logical to
have them emailed to editors.

Hi,

We really need someone to work with the infrastructure team and get a 
test instance of it running to evaluate it for a short period and get 
into the production stage. It looks like word press meets our basic needs.

I'll drop a note to the infrastructure list and see what they say...

Can someone point me at the needs list?

I ask because fundamentally, a blog engine (WordPress) and a CMS system
(Drupal) are very different.
