Hi all. Question:  
how does one get an announcement onto the [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) home page? I’m  
using newgem, and was…kind of thinking rake announce would do the  
trick but it never seems to.  
Thoughts?

I just do it old-school, by submitting a News item from my project’s  
News tab. Moving news items to the front page is an administrative task  
that is performed irregularly, so it may be several weeks before your  
News item appears on the front page.
