I noticed that no news is available from "eselect news" since 2013-09-27.
News are available from http://funtoo.org/Category:News. However, not all users might visit the website frequently. News often relate important changes that might require custom tweaks from the user for a better experience.
I think we could write a tool that takes as argument a news url, parses its contents and creates a summarized "eselect news" with a link to the full news.
