Done:

http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/new-startfpo.png

It's available for testing / viewing in the start.fp.o-news branch in the
fedora-web git repo.

Every time the site builds, it pulls in these RSS feeds:

http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/fpn.rss

and

http://mmcgrath.fedorapeople.org/fdn.rss

It only displays 3 news items a piece, you get the idea.  Hopefully if no
one complains we can get this in to place and tested.
