Thanks for sharing @jonr. Flagging this for my PKP comms colleagues @Alejandra_Casas and @fracy for their thoughts.
I think the use of such a plugin would necessitate the creation of a new subcategory here on the forum that each news item would be posted in. Certainly not a problem to do, but it might result in somewhat of a bifurcation of our news content - directing users to two different sources for news and auxiliary content (discussions and comments). I could also see it as a sustainability issue if that plugin were to ever be discontinued and we became overly reliant on it. That said, I don’t know for sure unless this was tested out.
If you have any technical questions related to these changes and plans, please post in the PKP Community Forum so everyone can benefit.
