But I = was thinking that maybe it could push the generated news to the posts direc= tory in guix-artwork.git so that your application wouldn't have to worry a= bout the presentation part... Sounds like an nice idea. A potential concern for me is that these posts might be of relatively =E2=80=9Clow quality=E2=80=9D compared to the articles we usually publish (= since they=E2=80=99d be partially generated), and they would also outnumber those articles. I wonder if this could leave a bad impression when visiting guix.gnu.org/blog. Or perhaps we just need to display those entries separately from those that do not have the GWN tag or something? WDYT? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
