I am not dismissing the idea but it goes beyond a simple text page to 
pull in updates like that. Copying Luke Macken (the guy behind our 
updates system) to see if there is anything we can do about this now. ON 
the other hand, if you can work on this or a "Welcome Application" I 
think that would be quite useful.
