yes, you can do it on the main www page - we have an active bit for each
new item. however, and this must be where the confusion came in, josh,
when you asked me about it you were asking about the advocacy site,
which we can't really do, since the news item strings have to be hard
coded into the files in order for them to display... two thoughts on
that are that we could put the strings in though you would be able to
see them all on actual pages before hand and possibly we could do some
hackery with &test=1 type tech to only display with a manually passed in
url. personally i'd rather see the main site translation be done and
then deprecate the advocacy site...
