I am infact working on the News Ticker. It is taking a lot of time than I
had imagined. Thats why I have started working on it, to get rid of the
initial ridges!
Note, we already have something fairly similar (The main difference
between what you're describing is that existing ticker works on a
static list of pages that isn't updated, instead of doing some
auto-update magic with ajax). See
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Template:Ticker and
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Bawolff/sandbox/ticker .
