I think it's a good design decision to become more
"newsy" and it doesn't need to be particularly
ambitious or heavy on overhead. Syndication, RSS, in
Joomla is very convienant and it's an interesting
mindset for the linux audio community to begin
contemplating. Anyone generating and publishing linux
audio related content can syndicate it. I'm thinking
of documentation, song releases, etc.

I don't know what locking it up in a database means
but the security is the responsibility of DreamHost. I
guess that's accurate if we're using the applications
they provide and I sure hope they stay ontop of the
issues.
