RSS ?

Fedora already includes custom bookmarks with Firefox, so adding a "live
bookmark" would be fairly trivial I guess.

We also have fedora-announce as a constantly updating source of content
(of interest to tech news junkies at least).

FedoraNews is great, and provides an RSS feed as well, although I don't
know if it's OK for linking.

May or may not be good ideas - I'm just trying to think of low-effort
ways this could be done...
