Our team only manages the user group and conference events
calendars (the two calendar widgets in the python.org sidebar
and the calendar on pycon.org).
We don't manage the newsindex.yml list which is show in the middle
of python.org.
The new site also separates the news from the calendars:
http://preview.python.org/
I think all these tools each reach a different audience, e.g.
I use the Google calendars as external calendars in my own calendar,
which is handy. The announcements on python.org is for people
visiting the site and ones subscribing to the RSS feed. Then
you have c.l.p.a which goes into the mail reader, etc.
These are all different channels to market news. A bit of replication
between these doesn't hurt, IMO. PR and marketing is generally a
lossy business ;-)
