A a separate latest news / rumours section would be great
I agree that it would be great.
However, remember it's challenging. unlike posting content, which can be done at a persons leisure, if news isn't posted as it happens, we will all still get our news elsewhere. It requires a few of us to commit to a combination of timeliness and quality.
For example, U2 plays Sao Paulo tonight. To post about it is fairly straightforward. To post it fast enough, and with decent enough quality, requires a time commitment - someone to say - yes, I will follow a livestream and post it on a saturday night.....
Just sayin'
