I have just pushed a preliminary version of ORG-NEWS to etc/ in Org's repor (master branch.) But it needs more love: sorting by version is *not* clever. We should try to sort out by important new features, incompatible changes, important bug fixes. We have to do this for Org since... 6.33x -- sigh. > If it is too much of a hassle, ORG-NEWS could start out empty or very > minimal.

If you can help sending patches against ORG-NEWS, that would be highly appreciated! -- Bastien
