I'd be willing to join such a project.

It has been suggested before.  It just requires someone to write such a
app and convince the different teams to include it by default.   Are you
willing to look into that?

Well, I build Simple but functional webapps and webpages... I certanly can build a web gadget with a feed parsing function so when you run the app (or if you have it open) you recieve all the important Fedora News in the moment they are generated, a "Notifier" to call it in some way. I can bring it to the Desktop using technologies such as Adobe AIR (I know we have problems with AIR because it's not free) But there is also Titanium, I never used it but it's suposed to furfill the air's functions being opensource. There is also another alternative: Mozilla Prism. We add this program to fedora and somehow create a launcher for the webgadget in the O.S.

Also, if we're going to work with web gadgets I bet there's a PLASMA WIDGET to serve as a notifier so there should be one similar app for Gnome (Like a Screenlet or I don't Know) But the other Option can be to put these apps for default opened in all major desktops, parsing the Fedora Feed. By Fedora Feed i refer to any of the news feeds of the project, it can be the Twitter Feed, one from blogger, Facebook, I don't Know (Or maybe we can build a new one just for these cases, don't know, I'm just giving ideas)

That's the help I can offer, I only work with Web Code...
