Yup, and it's generally been "play it by ear" style in the past.

This is a tricky one - there are plenty of 3rd party news sites
already that can pick this up and run with it... the Haiku website is
currently designed for news/articles about the Haiku project itself,
not necessarily everything Haiku related.

On the other hand, I know there has been some desire to bring the
community into the same area and try to combine it into a large
collaborative website. In this case, though I would almost suggest we
branch into a subdomain.. community.haiku-os.org or something, I
dunno.
