Hello!

I figured it would be nice to display channel news (as shown by ‘guix
pull --news’) on the web site.  Perhaps the three latest items could be
shown on the front page, as is done for blog posts, and then each entry
would get its own page, similar to the layout of blog posts.

(guix channels) has ‘read-channel-news’ to read the news, the web site
has code to render the blog posts, but I’m not sure how to adapt it to
render news entries.  Thoughts?

Anyway, that’s more of a wishlist item!

Ludo’.

Where would these new pages live? Maybe:

List of News: /LANG_TAG/news/
News entry: /LANG_TAG/news/NEWS_ENTRY_COMMIT_VALUE/SLUGIFIED_ENTRY_TITLE/

I'd like to help with this, but after helping with https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43871. Maybe what is found to work to generalize presentation of different media items in #43871 can be used for presenting channel news.

(I'm actually doing some related experimentation in my website)

Yes, that sounds good to me.

Oh sure, that makes sense.

Thanks for your feedback,
