Announcement mailing list

Related to this, just want to make sure everyone knows about these two
pages for announcements and goings-on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Goings-on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Goings-on
Not to mention the other sidebar-linked page, Wikimedia News!
Goings-on is the kind of overview page that might list a few News items and the
most recent Announcements, but also lists a lot of other passing events and
discussions on meta: and on specific projects. Very friendly, widely useful.
Announcements about major fundraising drives (we need the following
translated in the next 12 hours), server downtime, critical votes or deadlines,
or widespread changes in functionality, would be appropriate for a dedicated
announcement-list.
Re: Anthere's idea of having a "New announcement" blip similar to the
"You
have new messages" blip at the top of every page -- we could potentially
trigger such a blip on non-minor edits to such an Announcements page.
