I want to display the latest news on my wiki (both announcements from the admins and news about the wiki's subject, a book series) on the main page, but I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. I've tried to do some research on what other wikis do, but it seems to vary: Some use blogs (and some use blog posts with a special category), some manually insert news into a spot on the main page (and some of those collate old news on a special page in the wiki's namespace).

Blog posts with a "News" category is probably the best, as it's not reliant on manual work and it utilizes Wikia functionality for aggregation, but by that logic the best thing would be to be able to include the latest threads in the "News & Announcements" Forum (new style forums, not wiki-style forums) on the main page, so news aren't posted both in a blog and on the Forum. Is that possible somehow? I see the Forum Activity module includes all activity.

What do you use to update your community on the latest news both on the wiki and on the wiki's subject?
